Oh come on! Maggie Smith's best line in the entire series is in the Christmas special of season 2 when Mary dumps Sir Richard and he says, "I'm leaving in the morning. I doubt we'll meet again". The Dowager: "Do you promise?" Absolute classic.

When you realise maggie smith was just born very few years after the time the series takes place in (1912 to 1927 and maggie smith was born in 1934) just mindblowing and maybe very nice for her to see a world again she once lived in

The scene with Lord Grantham and Tom not having the evening shirts, with the quips of The Dowager and Mrs Levinson were absolutely hilarious!

Maggie Smith is a tremendous actress and I love how she portrayed Violet Crawley.

Mary's boyfriend scene with Matthew on the end of season 2 he said "I think we won't be seeing each other anymore" the dowager says "do you promise" I MEAN KMONNNNN this is one of the besf characters ever portraited

"I'm a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose."

“Does it ever get cold up there….. on the moral high ground?”…. Brilliant!

My favorite was when haughty Ian Glenn was Mary's new suitor after she had turned down Matthew. You could tell they were ill-suited for each other even though he had been knighted, and was independently wealthy. He threatens Mary by saying that he is never coming back again, and Granny says, "Oh good, is that a promise?" I love Ian Glenn and about fell off the couch laughing!

Glen was asked in an interview about working with Dame Maggie. He confessed he did his best to remain under her radar. I had a whopping crush on his Jorah Mormont. That made me very unsympathetic toward Khaleesi. He was far less appealing as Mary's fiance. I had to wonder how she ever considered it.

My favourite Line Maggie ever uttered on Downton Abbey is "I never argue, I explain" 🤣😍🤣

It is SO WEIRD to hear Michelle Dockery’s réal accent, and not the perfect English accent of Lady Mary It changes her voice a lot I’m always impressed by the English actors capacity to change their accent I know they learn how to do it as it is an absolute requirement in that country, but still

It's barely any different. How odd to point out.

I think the only time she ever panicked, "Sprat! You're losing you sense of the appropriate! You're losing your sense of occAAAsion!"

She's the light of the show.. Can't stop laughing everytime see her act.. 😂😂

Laura Carmichael modern day hair is so dreamy! She looks stunning here

Amazing how Edith was played to be the "ugly" sister when the actress herself is quite beautiful!😍

Yesssss! My favorite character is Tom

The “pardon?” Story is hilarious!!! 2:50

“What is a ‘week end’?” 😂

“Don’t be defeatist, dear, it’s very middle class” ❤️

Maggie knows how to be ruthlessly rude with classic style! She had me laughing all too long and often. You just can't help liking her. Her actions, her snobbery just everything about her. I want to be like her when I am in my 70's and beyond.

It’s obvious how much they love Maggie Smith. I really enjoyed this video.

I love it when she asks Matthew "what is a weekend?" looking genuinely confused

But like every line is Maggie smiths best. She’s just too amazing!

Aw they missed my favorite!! When Sir Richard says he’s never going to see her again and she says, “Do you promise?” 😂

I want to see an Epic Rap Battle of History: Maggie Smith as the Dowager v/s Dianna Rigg as Olenna Tyrell. Screw Drake and Pusha, that would be a bloodbath.

It's actually happened! They both star in 'Evil Under the Sun' as former chorus girls. They have some brilliant lines. Rigg: l could always kick my legs higher than you. Smith:..... And wider... Priceless.

@@Pdjohnners omg i was JUST about to say the exact same thing! I loved them both that movie! And the movie is brilliant And it's a Christie mystery to top it all off!

I mean, she’s the best. I absolutely roll every time she gives a one liner like these!

One laugh after another and these three actors - love them all - said exactly what we thought and more, of course. So glad 'Tom' was kept in the show the whole time. His character really had 'some traveling' to do - great job too!

Allen's smile though

Wow, it's refreshing to see "Mary" and "Edith" getting along 😂

Where is her " That is an easy caveat to accept because I'm never wrong"?

Violet's entire dialogues and her acting in the series is fabulous❤️

Richard: "I'm leaving in the morning lady Grantham. I doubt we'll meet again" Lady Grantham: "Do you promise?" 😭😭😭

It's so weird seeing "Mary" and "Edith" be pleasant to each other. I expect them to start biting and sniping at each other any minute. :)
