Lady Bracknell Monologue from The Importance of Being Earnest

From The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

female · sarcastic · 38 sec

Never speak disrespectfully of Society, Algernon. Only people who can’t get into it do that. Dear child, of course you know that Algernon has nothing but his debts to depend upon. But I do not approve of mercenary marriages. When I married Lord Bracknell I had no fortune of any kind. But I never dreamed for a moment of allowing that to stand in my way. Well, I suppose I must give my consent.
