Sophie: Leigh, I was serious about the French police finding your plane before we return. Sir Leigh: Yes… — Dan Brown
Sophie: Leigh, I was serious about the French police finding your plane before we return.
Sir Leigh: Yes, imagine their surprise if they board and find Rémy.
Sophie: Leigh, you transported a bound hostage across international borders. This is serious.
Sir Leigh: So are my lawyers.
Robert: But you tied [Silas] up and flew him to London!
Sir Leigh: "Your honour, forgive an eccentric old knight his foolish prejudice for the British court system. I realize I should have called the French authorities, but I'm a snob and I do not trust those laissez-faire French to prosecute properly. This man almost murdered me. Yes, I made a rash decision forcing my manservant to help me bring him to England, but I was under great stress. Mea culpa. Mea culpa."
Robert: Coming from you, Leigh, that just might fly.

Sir Leigh: Oxford Theatre Club. They still talk of my Julius Caesar. I'm certain nobody has ever performed the first scene of Act Three with more dedication.

Sir Leigh: Yes, but my toga tore open when I fell, and I had to lie on stage for half an hour with my todger hanging out. Even so, I never moved a muscle. I was brilliant, I tell you.
