 Movie/TV title: Impromptu (1991)
Character name: Frederic Chopin
Quote(s):
(Their first meeting, after she sneaks in while he's playing the piano)
George Sand: Oh, don't stop! Monsieur Chopin, you are in the middle of a miracle! - I'm not quite yet cured.
Frederic Chopin: How did you get in here? Who are you?
George Sand: I am your slave, and you have summoned me with your music.
Frederic Chopin: Oh, yes. I think I know who you are: I have heard you described. Madame Sand, rumor has it you are a woman, and so I must ask you to leave my private chambers.
George Sand: Have I offended your modesty? I apologize. Only play me one more piece and I'll go.
Frederic Chopin: No! This is ridiculously improper. And frightening, as well.
George Sand: (Picking up a picture) This your family?
Frederic Chopin: No, that's my fiancée. Well, we're no longer engaged. Um, her family didn't feel that I was a very good risk for a husband. You know, no one really expects me to live very long.
George Sand: Balls!
Frederic Chopin: I beg your pardon?
George Sand: I don't believe you're, you're ill at all. You just need more strength. Take mine. Really - I have too much of it. | Movie/TV title: Four Wedding and a Funeral (1994)
Character name: Charles
Quote(s): Excuse me. I think I had better be where other people are not.
Charles: Ladies and gentlemen, l'm sorry to drag you from your desserts. There are just one or two little things I feel I should say, as best man. This is only the second time l've been a best man. I hope I did OK that time. The couple in question are at least still talking to me. Unfortunately, they're not actually talking to each other. The divorce came through a couple of months ago. But l'm assured it had absolutely nothing to do with me. Paula knew Piers had slept with her sister before I mentioned it in the speech. The fact that he'd slept with her mother came as a surprise, but I think was incidental to the nightmare of recrimination and violence that became their two-day marriage. Anyway, enough of that. My job today is to talk about Angus. There are no skeletons in his cupboard. Or so I thought. I'll come on to that in a minute. I would just like to say this. I am, as ever, in bewildered awe of anyone who makes this kind of commitment that Angus and Laura have made today. I know I couldn't do it and I think it's wonderful they can. So, back to Angus and those sheep.
Carrie: Having a good night?
Charles: Yes. It's right up there with my father's funeral for sheer entertainment value. | Movie/TV title: Nine Months (1995)
Character name: Samuel Faulkner
Quote(s):
Rebecca Taylor: Sam! My water broke!
Samuel Faulkner: Well, we'll get you another one!
Samuel Faulkner: Think, you Commie bastard!
Dr. Kosevich: Shut up, you limey prick!
Truman: My dad's an asshole.
Samuel Faulkner: Okay. Good. Um, is that something you can maybe elaborate on for me a little?
Truman: Okay. My dad's a giant asshole. | Movie/TV title: Sense and Sensibility (1995)
Character name: Edward Ferrars
Quote(s): My heart is, and always will be, yours.
Fanny: They're all exceedingly spoilt I find. Miss Margaret spends all her time up trees and under furniture and I've barely had a civil word from Marianne.
Edward Ferrars: My dear Fanny, they've just lost their father. Their lives will never be the same again.
Edward Ferrars: Your friendship has been the most important of my life.
Elinor Dashwood: You will always have it.
Edward Ferrars: All I want, all I've ever wanted is the quiet of a private life, but my mother wants me distinguished. |  Movie/TV title: Notting Hill (1999)
Character name: William Thacker
Quote(s): You are lovelier this morning than you have ever been.
Anna Scott: You know what they say about men with big feet.
William Thacker: No, I don't, actually. What's that?
Anna Scott: Big feet... large shoes.
William Thacker: I enjoyed the movie very much. I was just wondering, did you ever consider having more horses in it?
Anna Scott: Well, we would have liked to. But it was difficult, obviously, being set in space.
William Thacker: Would you like something to eat? Something to nibble? Apricots, soaked in honey? Quite why, no one knows, because it stops them tasting like apricots and makes them taste like honey... and if you wanted honey, you could just... buy honey. Instead of apricots. But nevertheless they're yours if you want them.
William Thacker: I live in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are, my mother has trouble remembering my name.
Anna Scott: I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. |  Movie/TV title: Bridget Jone's Diary (2001)
Character name: Daniel Cleaver
Quote(s): I've been going crazy. I can't stop thinking about you, and thinking about what an idiot I've been. Christ, is that blue soup?
Daniel Cleaver: Fuck me, I love Keats.
Bridget: Daniel, what you just did is actually illegal in several countries.
Daniel Cleaver: That is one of the reasons that I'm so thrilled to be living in Britain today.
Daniel Cleaver: There once was a young woman from Ealing, / Who had a particular feeling. / She lay on her back, / And opened her crack, / And pissed all over the ceiling.
Daniel Cleaver: First, have some more wine, and then tell me the story about practicing French kissing with the art girls at school, because it's a very good story.
Bridget: It wasn't French kissing.
Daniel Cleaver: Don't care, make it up. That's an order, Jones. | Movie/TV title: About a Boy (2002)
Character name: Will
Quote(s): Once you open your door to one person anyone can come in.
Will: My life is made up of units of time. Buying CDs - two units. Eating lunch - three units. Exercising - two units. All in all, I had a very full life. It's just that it didn't mean anything.
Will: I want to go out with her, OK. I'd like her to be my girlfriend, here I said it.
Marcus: How brilliant!
Will: I'd be the worst possible Godfather. I'd probably drop her on her head at her christening. I'd forget all her birthdays until she was 18. Then I'd take her out and get her drunk. And, let's face it, quite possibly try and shag her. | Movie/TV title: Love Actually (2003)
Character name: The Prime Minister
Quote(s):
The Prime Minister: Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere.
The Prime Minister: I'm very jealous of your plane, by the way.
The President: Oh, thank you. We love that thing, I'll tell ya.
Natalie: Hello, David. I mean "sir". Shit, I can't believe I've just said that. And now I've gone and said "shit" - twice. I'm so sorry, sir.
The Prime Minister: It's fine, it's fine. You could've said "fuck," and then we'd have been in real trouble.
Natalie: Thank you, sir. I did have an awful premonition that I was gonna fuck up on the first day. Oh, piss it! | Movie/TV title: Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)
Character name: Daniel Cleaver
Quote(s):
Bridget Jones: Daniel Cleaver is a deceitful, sexist, disgusting specimen of humanity that I wouldn't share a lift with, let alone a job.
Daniel Cleaver: Oh, come on Jones there must have been something you liked about me.
Bridget Jones: You have a nice car. And - quite nice manners, outside the bedroom. But that's about it. And by the way, I know exactly where Germany is. The question is, do you know the location of your arsehole?
Daniel Cleaver: As a matter of fact I do know the exact location of my arsehole. And hers, for that matter.
Bridget Jones: You know, I never really understood why you wanted to date me. It seems so unlikely.
Daniel Cleaver: Come on, Jones, for God's sake. You're sexy. You make me laugh-at you of course, not with you. And you were, incidentally, the best shag I ever had.
Daniel Cleaver: I spent the night with a gorgeous Thai girl who turned out to be a gorgeous Thai boy! |
