- Tu es le Roi. Si tu ne voulais pas la guerre, il fallait l'interdire.
- Je l'ai fait. Et j'essaie d'être clair : pour moi, cette guerre n'existe pas !

"L'amour est aussi un devoir, et tu dois te construire une réalité."

"Quelles sont tes aspirations ? Rester dans l'histoire grâce à Wagner ? Comme ma belle-mère et ses peintres ridicules ? Si ton Wagner est si doué, il n'a pas besoin de toi ! Ton amitié pathétique te donne l'illusion d'avoir créé, comme je te donne l'illusion d'un amour... Tu ne peux rester seul. Je devrais être ton impossible amour, servir ta propre justification. Tu veux une aide que je ne puis te donner."

"Queen Elizabeth is a man ! Prince Charles is a faggot ! Winston Churchill was full of shit !"

"It's very slow, but it's not dumb."

Wells: Look at that, two cops wishing me luck. I'm doomed.

Leigh: The very least of our problems is that we're out of time.
Wilson: It's an old story with me. I was born out of time.

- Promets-moi une chose. De ne jamais me quitter. Je ne veux pas finir dans une maison de redressement !

- Pourquoi crois-tu que ça t'arriverait ?

- Je sais que ça m'arriverait ! Et je te préfère à ces endroits affreux !

"I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil."

"Il n'y a pas de nom qui le décrive."

- Louise... I will never have grandchildren.

"- T'es toujours comme ça avec eux ?
- Oui. Je dois leur donner l'exemple, pour qu'ils apprennent."

"You know what ? Today I'm going to see dad. I'm really happy. Haven't seen him in ages. And since you have such a beautiful moustache... I'm sure he'll really like your moustache."

Sean: You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you've met, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other ? That's the all deal. That's what intimacy is all about.

"Vous êtes bête un peu parfois, non ?"

Redmond Barry: Sir, let those laugh that win.

[Barry has just been arrested by the Prussians for impersonating a British officer]

Redmond Barry: I'm under arrest? Captain Potzdorf, sir! I'm a British officer.

Captain Potzdorf: You are a liar! You are an impostor. You are a deserter. I suspected you this morning, and your lies and folly have confirmed this to me. You pretend to carry dispatches to a British general who has been dead these ten months. You say your uncle is the British Ambassador in Berlin, with the ridiculous name of O'Grady. Now, will you join and take the bounty that is on your head sir, or will you be given up?

Redmond Barry: [beat] I volunteer.

"Nourris ton esprit pour affronter les revers de fortune.
Ne panique pas en fantasmant trop.
Fatigue et solitude engendrent la peur.
Sois discipliné mais tolérant envers toi-même.
Tu est l'enfant de cet univers, comme les arbres et les étoiles.
Tu as le droit d'être ici.
Que tu le perçoives ou non, l'univers a un dessein.
Sois en paix avec ton Dieu, quel qu'il soit.
Malgré les peines et les aspirations dans le bruit confus de la vie,
reste en paix avec ton âme.
Avec ses impostures, ses labeurs et ses rêves brisés,
le monde est beau."

Tito: Why does my character have to be a dwarf?

Nick: He doesn't have to be.

Tito: Then why is he? Is that the only way you can make this a dream, to put a dwarf in it?

Nick: No, Tito, I...

Tito: Have you ever had a dream with a dwarf in it? Do you know anyone who's had a dream with a dwarf in it? No! I don't even have dreams with dwarves in them. The only place I've seen dwarves in dreams is in stupid movies like this! "Oh make it weird, put a dwarf in it!". Everyone will go "Woah, this must be a fuckin' dream, there's a fuckin' dwarf in it!". Well I'm sick of it! You can take this dream sequence and stick it up your ass!

Frank: Give yourself over to absolute pleasure.

Frank: [singing] Whatever happened to Fay Wray / That delicate satin-draped frame / As it clung to her thigh / How I started to cry / 'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same.

Joe Orton: Have you been reading my diary?
Kenneth Halliwell: No.
Joe Orton: Why not? I would.

Kenneth Halliwell: I can't remember when you last touched my cock. Well, I can actually. It was about two years ago. Only I can't remember the actual date. Pity. I could have put it in my diary. "The last time Joe touched my cock. Grouse shooting begins"

Joe Orton: I always wanted to be an orphan. I could have, if it wasn't for my parents.

FERGUS. Dil... Can I tell you something? I knew your
man.
DIL. You knew which man?
FERGUS. Your soldier.
DIL. You knew my Jody?
