Timeline - Cultural Identity in a Historical Context

Lord Oliver: Who speaks for you?
Marek: I do, my lord.
Lord Oliver: You speak strangely.
Marek: Yes. We are Scottish, my lord.
Lord Oliver: Scottish? (in Scottish accent) You've come to kill us all in our beds, eh? (goes back to original English accent) First the old man and now this group. Why do the Scottish find this village so pleasing?

Timeline - Lord Oliver's War Concerns

Lord Oliver: I'm at war with the French, as well as the Scottish. Have I forgotten anyone? The Spaniards, am I at war with them?

Frost/Nixon - A Conversation on Charisma and Choices

Richard Nixon: You know those parties of yours, the ones I read about in the newspapers. Do you actually enjoy those?
David Frost: Of course.
Richard Nixon: [chuckles] You have no idea how fortunate that makes you, liking people. Being liked. Having that facility. That lightness, that charm. I don't have it, I never did. It kind of makes you wonder why I chose a life that hinged on being liked. I'm better suited to a life of thought, debate, intellectual discipline. Maybe we got it wrong. Maybe you should have been a politician and I the rigorous interviewer.
David Frost: [smiling] Maybe.

Frost/Nixon - The President's Justification for Unlawful Actions

Richard Nixon: Look, when you're in office, you gotta do a lot of things sometimes that are not always, in the strictest sense of the law, legal, but you do them because they're in the greater interests of the nation!
David Frost: Right. Wait. Just so I understand correctly, are you really saying that in certain situations, the president can decide whether it's in the best interests of the nation and then do something illegal?
Richard Nixon: I'm saying, that when the President does it, that means it's not illegal!
David Frost: ...I'm sorry?
Richard Nixon: That's what I believe. But I realize... no one else shares that view.

Frost/Nixon - The Struggle for Acceptance and Recognition

Richard Nixon: That's our tragedy, isn't it, Mr. Frost? No matter how high we get, they still look down at us.
David Frost: I really don't know what you're talking about.
Richard Nixon: Yes, you do. Now come on. No matter how many awards or column inches are written about you, or how high the elected office is for me, it's still not enough. We still feel like the little man, the loser they told us we were a hundred times. The smartasses in college, the high-ups, the well-born. The people whose respect we really wanted, really craved. And isn't that why we work so hard now, why we fight for every inch? Scrambling our way up in undignified fashion. If we're honest for a minute, if we reflect privately, just for a moment, if we allow ourselves a glimpse into that shadowy place we call our soul, isn't that why we're here, now? The two of us. Looking for a way back into the sun, into the limelight. Back onto the winner's podium, because we could feel it slipping away. We were headed, both of us, for the dirt. The place the snobs always told us that we'd end up. Face in the dust, humiliated all the more for having tried so pitifully hard. Well, to hell with that! We're not gonna let that happen, either of us. We're gonna show those bums! We're gonna make em choke on our continued success, our continued headlines, our continued awards and power and glory! We are gonna make those motherfuckers CHOKE!... Am I right?
David Frost: You are... Except only one of us can win.
Richard Nixon: Yes. And I shall be your fiercest adversary. I shall come at you with everything I've got. Because the limelight can only shine on one of us. And for the other, it'll be the wilderness, with nothing and no one for company but those voices ringing in our head... You can probably tell I've had a drink. It's not too many, just one or two. But you believe me, when the time comes, I'm gonna be focused and ready for battle.

The Queen - Nuclear War and Diplomatic Responsibilities Discussed

HM Queen Elizabeth II: Have we shown you how to start a nuclear war yet?

Tony Blair: I would imagine.

The Queen - A Tribute to Dedication and Sacrifice

Tony Blair: [[George VI of the United Kingdom|her father] That woman has given her whole life in service to her people. Fifty years doing a job she never wanted! A job she watched kill ].

All because she's struggling to lead the world in mourning for someone who... who threw everything she offered back in her face and who, for the last few years, seemed committed 24/7 to destroying everything she holds most dear!
