 Quotes from The Ruling Class (1972)
1
Lady Claire Gurney: How do you know you're God?
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: Simple. When I pray to Him, I find I am talking to myself.

  
2
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: If I had only known then who I was now.

  
3
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: Oh, I believe you, I just put my glasses on because I'm cold.

5
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: For what I am about to receive, may I make myself truly thankful.

  
6
Dr. Herder: His lordship is a paranoid schizophrenic.
Sir Charles: Paranoid schizophrenic? But he's a Gurney!
Dr. Herder: Then he's a paranoid schizophrenic Gurney who belives he's God.
Sir Charles: But we've always been Church of England!

  
7
Dr. Herder: He can't forget being rejected by his mother and father at the age of 11. They sent him away, alone, into a primitve community of licensed bullies and pederasts.
Sir Charles: You mean he went to public school.
Dr. Herder: Exactly.

  
8
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: I was only trying to do what's expected me. I recall as a sign of normalcy in our circle to slaughter anything that moves.

  
9
Dr. Herder: To love goodness is to love God. To love God is to love the 14th Earl of Gurney.

  
10
Sir Charles: What about Jack?
Dr. Herder: Remember he's suffering from delusions of grandeur. In reality he's an earl, an English aristocrat, a member of the ruling class. Naturally, he's come to believe there's only one person grander than that: the Lord God Almighty Himself.
Sir Charles: Are you English?
Dr. Herder: No.
Sir Charles: [slowly] Ah.

13th Earl of Gurney: Englishmen like to hear the truth about themselves.

  
12
Mrs. Piggot-Jones: [screams as she sees Jack's giant cross] Oh! What is it?
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: A watusi walking stick! Big people, the watusi!

  
13
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: I can't marry a second time.
Lady Claire Gurney: You're already married?
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: August 28, in the year of me, 1964.

  
14
Dr. Herder: Naturally, men aren't rats.
Lady Claire Gurney: Only a man would say so.

  
15
Daniel Tucker: I always show respect, sir. That's what I'm paid for.
[blows raspberries]

  
16
Sir Charles: Come, doctor, you said he needed a harsh dose of reality. Well, you can't get a harder dose of the stuff than marriage.

  
17
Lady Claire Gurney: My husband's an idiot.
Dr. Herder: That's not my concern.

  
18
13th Earl of Gurney: A judge can't be unreasonable, so how can he be a lover?

  
19
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: Surely you pray for love and understanding?
Lady Claire Gurney: Every night ... without success.

  
20
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: Your job's done, Herr Doctor. I'm adjusted. I brush my teeth twice daily and smile.

  
21
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: [to Grace] I take thee, Marguerite, called Grace Shelley because she doesn't speak French, to be my wedded wife.

  
22
Sir Charles: Oh, my God!
Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: Yes?
