I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
-- Winston Churchill
The version I've always heard goes something like this:
(Participants: LA = Lady Astor, WC = Churchill)
LA: Winston, you're drunk.
WC: And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning I shall be sober.
And another one listed on her ladyship's wikipedia page:

And in another similar instance with Winston Churchil in his fabled tangle with Lady Astor, who'd allegedly said she'd probably sleep with him for a £1 million.
When Winston suggested £10, Astor snorted: "What kind of woman do you think I am?"
To which Winston is said to have replied: "We've established what you are; now we're just haggling over the price."
