Isobel Crawley's Best Quotes | Downton Abbey 

What is your favourite quote?

They could have done an entire spinoff on Isobel an Violet’s friendship.

The scene between Mary, Isobel and Tom is so sweet and touching.

Mrs Crawley was a natural modern woman as common in 1920, and maybe even now 2021. She reminds me of my mother who is a nurse in every scene.

"Do you have your passport?" "Have you changed your pills?" I love those 2 ladies together. ♡

I love it when she says to the Dowager “Have you changed your pills?” with that big smile on her face. 😂😂😂😂😂

Penelope is just wonderful. She brings such cleverness and charm to this character. Just truly a class act.

The Dowager and Isobel were a fantastic duo. 🥰

Scene at 3:29 is even more lovely when you realize that yes, all three lost the person they loved (Reginald, Matthew, Sybil), but they later found happiness again (with Dickie, Henry, Lucy). So sweet!

Well Downton Abbey all I have to say is... It's about TIME!! Everyone loves the Dowager and rightly so. But Mrs. Isobel Crawley deserves far, far, far more credit than she receives.

It's a nut cracker for cracking your nuts 🤣 4:03 the giddy smile of cousin Isobel's face always cracks me up. Isabella's quick wit matches cousin Violets sarcasm.

"Makes you wonder what they'll be shooting at by the end of it."

I don’t believe I’ve ever been so entertained. Downton Abbey was the best.

The dowager laughing at a joke, only Isobel can do that 😂❤️

Love Love LOVE the scene with Tom, Mrs.Crawley, and Mary! One of my absolute faves! I love how Mrs. Crawley is the one to start off the “love talk”, and then Tom and Mary jump in as well. One of my fave Lady Mary lines, “I was standing outside in the snow and I didn’t have a coat, but I wasn’t cold, I just kept thinking, he’s going to propose… he’s going to PROPOSE!”❤️❤️

“Have you got your passport?” 😁👏

"Have you changed your pills ?" 💀

"Why do you always talk of me as a salmon, who laid her eggs in the gravel and swam back to sea" ... 😄😄 Lady Violet!! Can't be beat

She's a treasure. I especially love the scene towards the end of the show where she meets Mary at the graveyard.

Isobel is my favorite character. Relatively close to the aristocrats' level in terms of learnedness and refinement, but separate enough to see their pretensions and delusions. They always referred to her as "middle class" but she's about as high as social class goes today before you get to the super rich. A daughter and wife of doctors and a mother of a lawyer. She was well established in the professional class. In her first scene she was shown to have a maid.

“Have you changed your pills?” Lol

Aren't we the lucky ones. What a wonderful way of looking at life. 🤗💖

The scene with Isobel, Mary and Tom is so beautiful.

Penelope was perfection as Isobel. No one else could’ve brought her level of class and wit.

I love Isobel so much. Her fighting spirit really is a portrait of all the women before us who fought for all the rights we rightly deserved.

Great writing. Great scenery. Great costumes. And a great actress to bring the role alive! She did not act she became Mrs Crawley. Bravo.

Violet: Oh this is nice what is it? Isobel: It is a nutcracker... to crack your nuts. (Grins to cover up what she just said) 💀💀💀

Oh, my favorite character from the show. Sometimes overly helpful, but so concerned about others. And middle-class.

For me it will always be when she rescued Lord Merton and agreed to marry him.

Ah Isobel. She reminds me of certain aunts. Nosy yet well-meaning. Sometimes annoying but you know it came from a place of caring. Always kind and ever ready to dispense advice regardless of if it was asked for.

Isobel is the Aunt who always brings the sweet potatoes to Thanksgiving.

Isabel and Violet became such dear friends

Isobel is literally the best

I just can’t have enough of it.. must confess I have memorized most lines ☺️

Nothing like!. Even these brief scenes take me back to this wonderful world and the happiness I found in every episode. Thank you!

Isobel reminds me of my old neighbor when I was younger. I called her aunt even if I'm not related to her. Like Isobel, a modern woman, open-minded and full of wisdom. Too sad she passed away before I graduated in college due to massive stroke.

"Aren't we the lucky ones?"

Examples of the wonderfully clever dialogue in this series!

The dowagers laugh at the end

"Have you got your passport?"

The development of Violet and Isabelle's was just a pleasure to watch!

I absolutely loved Isobel and everything she added to the show, especially when it came to Mary and her work in the hospital. Absolutely lovely character!

Have you changed your pills?🤣 Best line ever!

"I've never gone with a maid, you can share my knowledge of the jungle." That tickles me😂

She's one of my favorites ❤

I love Isobel....

Absolutely love Isobel!!!!!!!Her and Dowager's friendship. !!!Priceless bantering. 😅🥰💞

I know it couldn’t run indefinitely but I sure do miss the show and still watch all the episodes whenever I can.

I always thought isobel had the best facial expressions, she made me crack up so many times with her wide open eyes in disbelief 😂

I never saw this show. Now I know what all the fuss was about. Excellent.

Who didn't have a Mother, Aunt, Grandmother or other relation like Isobel Crawley? My Aunt Irma, not exactly but a caring person who was touch and so resilient. A real life Rosie the Riveter.

I love Isobel asking Violet if she’s Changed her Pills 😂😂😂😂😂🥲

Left out my favorite. "There will be wigs on the green"!

Penelope Wilton is my most favorite actor of the entire cast.

My favorite characters: Mrs Crawley, Mrs Hughes and of course Lady Grantham..Cant wait for the next movie!

She meant well. Bless her heart.

Lord Synderby, Branson, and Barrow... Indeed Granny. Indeed

Just previous to the 3:00 mark, is my favorite! …….. Isabel, Mary, and Tom are talking about when they were courting with their late spouses.

"Well...aren't we the lucky ones...."

At 4:09, Oh the irony... of giving a nutcracker to the ultimate ball buster!!!

Love it! ❤️

For sure. They were great.

Only a mother like Isobel can raise a man like Matthew.

This was without a doubt one of the best series and two movies that I have ever seen.

3:28 never fails to strike a chord with me 🥺Yes, they really are!

It's nut crackers...to crack your nuts!" 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🍻🏅

I can you not love Downtown Abby?

LOVELY

_"It's a nutcracker --- to crack your nuts!"_ LOL!

Her goofy smile after “To crack your nuts…” kills me every time.

Love her

The chemistry between Penelope Wilton (Isobel Crawley) and Maggie Smith (Violet Crawley) is undeniable. Their on camera interactions... produced some of the greatest scenes of the entire show. I understand that Julian Fellows tried and failed to have others help in writing the dialog for the show... but in the end he did it all himself. His words... coupled with these two great actors... and their interpretation of this relationship and it's evolution... is just amazing. Watching this friendship build, as the years go by... it truly is something to see. There is that scene where Isobel and Violet are walking through the village and they are talking about friendships, acquaintances... and relationships. Ending with Violet's line... '... I was talking about companionship... as I hope you were too.'... and then Isobel's smirk. It was in that moment... and SO many others just like it... that we got to see the amazing relationship these two women built over the years. The transformation of their relationship... from moment of their first introduction... to Violet's death... is heartwarming to say the least.

Bello questo telefilm ☺️

Have they changed your pills? 😂🤣😛

I hope they do one with Carson!!!

The dress designer and all cast must be preserved.

Me encanta el inglés que habla Isobel.

Harriet Jones- (Future) Prime Minister!

☺️ 💚 💜

Violets laugh is priceless

Another scene coming??

“Makes you wonder what they’ll be shooting AT by the end of it!”

And of course she is also the best prime minister we have had!

Shame you left out Violet's response to the "Marie Antoinette" barb. She takes it literally and considers it a compliment.

She was not one of my favourite characters however they needed each other and in the end she seemed to mellow a bit ... Thank you for sharing

At 0:06 it looks like the paint is peeling off the wall behind Carson...

V: Must you act me like I am some Salmon who laid her eggs and swam back to the sea. Robert: Dare I call you that loving?

These dresses should be international standard.

Amei a série, perfeita! Por favor , põe legenda , fico sem entender o diálogo, é horrível!!! Obrigada.

I love jorah mormont...

Granny was so funny.

Her best moments should’ve intersected with her sparring with violet but that’s already her and violets video

I always thought Miss "Slain Fox" was a bit of foreshadowing. I'm sure her first name wasn't "Slain" but since we almost always heard it with Miss in front, it nearly always sounded like slain to me.

If you are trying to be discrete about their whereabouts Carson’s not well at it at all, trying to think of their security

What do you think is the age gap between the two of them in the wrong now the dowager is dead how far behind could Mrs. Crowley be?

And to think , nobody wanted Isobel and Matthew in the beginning.

She's insufferable. Reminds me of a long time friend of mine who is personally very kind but whose world view, like Crowley's, is ultraliberally screwed AND who lives a very nice life of comfort at a safe distance from all the victims she "cares" about. Isabel is an archetype of the Limousine Liberal, destroying all the long-built structures around her while suffering NONE of the consequences. Awful woman.
