Texan Millionaire: No ma'am. They wouldn't bounce. Well, better get set to rope this steer.

Lady Warren: I feared for a moment he was going to take my hand back to Texas with him, even though it isn't made of gold.Comment
-
Father Brown: I doubt if even Flambeau could have invented him.Comment
-
Auctioneer: Now, who will open the bidding for me at ten thousand pounds?Comment
-
Texan Millionaire: Fifty thousand dollars.Comment
-
Auctioneer: I am bid... seventeen thousand, eight hundred and fifty-seven pounds, two shillings and ten pence. I think it would be easier, sir, if we were to conduct the bidding in pounds sterling.Comment

Parkinson: Pardon, me lady, but the awful people are coming up the drive!Comment
-
Lady Warren: What awful people? It is not my "at home" day.Comment
-
Father Brown: I think he means the police.Comment
-
Inspector Valentine: [the inspector has just phoned in an all-points bulletin for a stolen milk truck] Your accomplices haven't got a chance. They'll be intercepted within half an hour.Comment
-
Lady Warren: Half an hour? Then you've time for a glass of sherry.Comment
-
Inspector Valentine: No thank you.Comment
-
Lady Warren: Or perhaps a glass of milk? The milkman seems to have left rather a lot today.Comment
-
Father Brown: My son...Comment
-
Flambeau: Please do not call me your son.Comment
-
Father Brown: My son, you think that you are a man of the world and that I am not. But I assure you, my "innocent" ears encounter every day stories of a horror that would make your sophisticated hair stand on end. Although I wear funny clothes, and have taken certain vows, I live far more in the world than you do.Comment
-
Flambeau: What are you really after, your cross or my soul?Comment
-
Father Brown: Both, of course.Comment
-
Flambeau: Well, come and find us. I'll make you a bargain: whatever you can find you shall have.Comment
-
Father Brown: I accept your bargain.Comment
-
Flambeau: It would have been an interesting encounter. Pity it will never take place.Comment
-
Father Brown: Excuse me. Do you speak English?Comment
-
Painter: Sure.Comment
-
Father Brown: Have you noticed the river has started flowing backwards?Comment
-
Painter: If you hadn't told me I never would have noticed.Comment
-
Father Brown: And that the sun is moving from west to east. And that those trees, instead of growing, are shrinking down into the ground. All of which suggests to me that the course of history has started to unwind, and that we are approaching the end of the world.Comment
-
Painter: In that case, I'd better be going. Thanks for the tip.Comment
-
Inspector Valentine: Well?Comment
-
Inspector Dubois: He is going to the wine harvest, and the grape waits for no man.Comment
-
Inspector Valentine: Nor does Father Brown.Comment
-
Father Brown: It's all so nonsensical, it must make sense.Comment
-
Father Brown: Appalling.Comment
-
Flambeau: An odd word to apply to the finest private collection in the world.Comment
-
Father Brown: What is appalling is that it is private.Comment
-
Flambeau: You are the first person to have the privilege of seeing it. Look at my El Greco.Comment
-
Father Brown: Yours?Comment
-
Flambeau: Mine.Comment
-
Father Brown: This, I believe, is yours.Comment
-
[He hands Flambeau his cigarette case]Comment
-
Flambeau: Oh. So that's how you traced me. Thank you. I wondered where I'd lost it.Comment
-
Father Brown: You didn't lose it. I stole it.Comment
-
Flambeau: We have something in common then.Comment
-
Father Brown: All men do.Comment
-
Flambeau: The police have an unfortunate habit of interrupting our conversations just when they begin to be interesting. I must beg your leave to leave you.Comment

Nobunaga Oda: [coldly, after ambushing Yoshimoto Imagawa at the Battle of Okehazama] Those who seek fear shall have it... in abundance.Comment

Nobunaga Oda: [manically, after the fire attack on Ikko Buddhists at the Battle of Ise-Nagashima] If faith is what prevents you from fearing death, then I shall sever that faith from your bodiesComment
