[Daphne laughs at Sidney's suit]
Sidney Stratton : What's funny about it?
Daphne Birnley, Alan Birnley's daughter : It's just the suit. It looks as if it's wearing you.
Sidney Stratton : It's still a bit luminous. But it'll wear off.
Daphne Birnley, Alan Birnley's daughter : Oh, no!
Sidney Stratton : No?
Daphne Birnley, Alan Birnley's daughter : No. It makes you look like a knight in shining armour. It's what you are.
Sidney Stratton : Me?
Daphne Birnley, Alan Birnley's daughter : Don't you understand what this means? Millions of people all over the world, living lives of drudgery, fighting an endless losing battle against shabbiness and dirt. You've won that battle for them. You've set them free. The whole world's going to bless you.
