"Monarch of the Glen" Episode #3.7 (TV Episode 2001) - Susan Hampshire as Molly MacDonald

Molly MacDonald : Duncan has a problem.

Lexie : Just the one?

Molly MacDonald : His friend, Marie-Helene, has clearly misunderstood one of Duncan's letters. French can be such a tricky language; I mean you ask for a hairbrush and they bring you a horse-brush; it's all too, too muddling. Anyway, as I was saying, dear Marie-Helene seems confused about what it is that Duncan actually does.

Lexie : Well, that's no surprise. Half the time Duncan's confused about about what he actually does.
Archie MacDonald : You want me to do Duncan's job, and Duncan to do mine?

Molly MacDonald : Very good, dear; it would have taken me hours to explain something like that to your father.
Molly MacDonald : [the fire alarm goes off] Is there a fire?

Archie MacDonald : No, just another one of his safety tests.

Molly MacDonald : Oh.

[starts to follow Archie up the stairs]

Molly MacDonald : Oh, um Archie...

Archie MacDonald : Mother, you've got to leave the house.

Molly MacDonald : But you said there isn't a fire.

Archie MacDonald : Okay, the house is in flames, you're going to be burnt to a frazzle.

Molly MacDonald : Oh, why didn't you tell me, dear? You know how panicked I get.

[she runs around the house madly to try and find things to save]
Molly MacDonald : [Thinking the house is on fire] I do hope it's not a big fire. Hector would be terribly disappointed to miss it.
