A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE's D'Ysquith Family Comments on Scottish Independence

In light of Scotland's vote today on whether to continue their union with the rest of Britain or to leave the United Kingdom, members of the famed D'Ysquith family from Broadway's A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER have weighed in on Scottish Independence. See what they had to say below!

STATEMENTS FROM THOSE OPPOSED:

"Scottish independence?! Rubbish! I'm calling up me old regiment! We shall defend the Empire! We stand ready to storm Dunstaffnage, Dumbarton, and Dumfries! Gentlemen, to your battlements!" - Lord Adalbert D'Ysquith, Earl of Highhurst

"We've been getting on so well since 1707, why the sudden urge for independence now?" - Lord Asquith D'Ysquith

"Black pudding and haggis. Miserable, really. Wreaks havoc on the digestion. Still, we must do everything we can to preserve the Empire!" - Major Lord Bartholomew D'Ysquith

STATEMENTS FROM THOSE IN FAVOR:

"Independence? My, the Scots are a rather hardy breed, aren't they? Well, why not! I do think a tartan kilt says a lot about a man, don't you? I daresay, there could be quite a bit going on underneath." - Henry D'Ysquith

"If those wretched, ungrateful Scots want to go their own way, it makes no difference to me. But I shall fight to my dying breath for the right to wear plaid!" - Lady Hyacinth D'Ysquith

"Scotland is good for two things: Bagpipes and golf. I shouldn't think I'd miss either of them." - Asquith D'Ysquith, Jr.

"I say, let them go. So long as the flow of whisky remains unabated." - Reverend Lord Ezekial D'Ysquith

STATEMENTS FROM THOSE UNDECIDED:

"I make it a point never to get involved in politics, though I once portrayed Mary, Queen of Scots, in rep. The critics praised my bravery. And my height." - Lady Salome D'Ysquith

These members of the D'Ysquith Family are currently being portrayed on Broadway in A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE OT LOVE AND MURDER.
