Have decided I want to be just like Lady Bracknell when I'm one hundred. A monster without being a myth and a decided snob. I shall speak with a decidedly RP accent clipped speech and all.
You can be Lady Bracknell, OP, and I'm going to be Joan Greenwood as Gwendolyn.

I am glad to say that I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.

No Gwendolen, R4, you asked for bread and butter and were given cake.

You have filled my tea with lumps of sugar, and though I asked most distinctly for bread and butter, you have given me cake. I am known for the gentleness of my disposition, and the extraordinary sweetness of my nature, but I warn you, Miss Cardew, you may go too far.

“To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.” is one of the most brilliant lines in any play ever.

To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution. And I presume you know what that unfortunate movement led to?

TRUDY PHILLIPS...New Girl:
Blonde"It" girl Gloria Holden, cast as Gwendolyn (naturally), has a backstage mishap mid-performance making it impossible for her to continue. She will cast blame for this on chestnut-haired Trudy who's the...new girl.

I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.

This noise is extremely unpleasant. It sounds as if he was having an argument. I dislike arguments of any kind. They are always vulgar, and often convincing.
