Downton Abbey | Thomas Barrow

Top 5 quotes from my favourite character under five categories

Best

/ I’m not foul, Mr. Carson. I’m not the same as you, but I’m not foul.

/ You’re not a victim. Don’t let them make you into one.

/ It is not against the law to hope, is it?

/ I arrived here as a boy. I leave as a man.

/ But remember, I will always be your friend wherever I am.

Sad

/ You are stronger than you think. And you’re wrong about me. I mind what people say.

/ There are times I would like to belong. Does that sound funny?

/ To change me. To make me more like other people… other men.

/ I envy you. A happy couple and everyone’s so pleased for you. I can’t imagine what that’s like.

/ You’ve got me wrong. You all have… It’s too late. The damage has been done.

Sarcastic

/ I don’t think that would be sensible, Mr. Bates. We can’t have you wobbly at both ends.

/ Only technically.

/ I hope not, for his mother’s sake.

/ Really? And what do you feel about transubstantiation?

/ What about the Black Bottom, m’lady?

Iconic

/ It’s Mr. Barrow to you.

/ What?

/ Because I feel like it.

/ *pouting*

/ *standing in the background looking bored*

Other characters on Thomas

/ No man is an island, Carson. Not even Thomas Barrow.

/ I don’t know if you’re a good or a bad thing, Mr. Barrow. But we’ve all been together for a long time.

/ You are your own worst enemy.

/ Can’t Barrow come up with something? / You’re right, Mr. Barrow usually has a card or two up his sleeve. / Well, tell him to get one out of his sleeve and play it. Pronto.

/ You don’t need to explain, Barrow. I wish you well. And I hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows.
