The Admirable Crichton1957

Lady Mary:
Are you ambitious?

Bill Crichton:
Ambitious? For what?

Lady Mary:
To better yourself.

Bill Crichton:
My lady! I am the son of a butler and a lady's maid. The happiest of all combinations. To me the most beautiful thing in the world is a haughty English aristocratic home with everyone kept in his place.

Lady Mary:
That's not how my father would have it.

Bill Crichton:
Indeed, he would not, my lady. He would have equality for all. But what good would that do? Any satisfaction I might derive out of being your equal would be ruined by the footman being equal to me.
