Betsey Trotwood
- David Copperfield: What are you doing?
- Betsey Trotwood: Medicine. I'm reviving you.
- David Copperfield: This is salad dressing.
- Betsey Trotwood: Is it? Thought it was Armagnac. Don't have my spectacles on.
- David Copperfield: Do you have lettuce somewhere covered in ointment?
- Betsey Trotwood: Peggotty? Peggotty? Peggotty? You mean to say a human being went into a church and had herself named Peggotty? Did you mother sneeze when you were christened?
- Mr Dick: Somebody! Somebody, please! King Charles I. Are we certain that he's dead?
- Betsey Trotwood: When last seen in public, his head was *not* attached to his body.
- Mr Dick: Good. Thank you. Much obliged.
- Betsey Trotwood: My late brother all over. Calls a house a rookery, takes the rooks on trust. A better name would have been Gullible Manor.
- Mr Dick: [Coming through the door]
- Mr Dick: His head... is entirely removed from his body? We're sure?
- Betsey Trotwood: Let's leave Charles's head on one side for the moment, Mr Dick.
- Mr Dick: Pick it up later. Understood.
- Betsey Trotwood: Mr Dick. My brother, David Copperfield, this is his son, who's run away. What shall we do with him?
- Mr Dick: If I were you, I'd wash him.
