Barry Lyndon - Succession and Contemplation of Mortality
Sir Charles Lyndon: [Laughs]
The cheek! He wants to step into my shoes. He wants to step into my shoes! Is it not a pleasure Gentlemen for me, as I am drawing near the goal - to find my home such a happy one - my wife so fond of me, that she is even now thinking of appointing a successor? Isn't it a comfort to see her like a prudent housewife - getting everything ready for her husband's departure?
Redmond Barry:
I hope you're not thinking of leaving us soon, Sir Charles?
Sir Charles Lyndon:
Not so soon my dear as you may fancy, perhaps. Why man I've been given over many times these four years. And there was always a candidate or two - waiting to apply for the situation. I'm sorry for you, Mr. Barry. It grieves me to keep you or any gentleman waiting. Had you not better arrange with my doctor or have the cook flavour my omelet with arsenic, eh? What are the odds, gentlemen, that I live to see Mr. Barry hang yet?
Redmond Barry:
Sir, let those laugh that win.

Sir Charles Lyndon:
Have you done with my Lady?
Redmond Barry:
I beg your pardon?
Sir Charles Lyndon:
Come, come, sir. I'm a man who would rather be known as a cuckold than a fool.
