Olivia Colman Quotes

Queen Anne STOP! ENOUGH! STOP! BEGONE! I COMMAND IT! LEAVE!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!

Abigail You should lie down.

Queen Anne You shall speak when asked to! I feel dizzy, I need to hold on to something.

Lady Sarah None for the queen.

Queen Anne What?

Lady Sarah Well you cannot have hot chocolate. Your stomach, the sugar inflames it.

Queen Anne Abigail, hand me that cup!

Lady Sarah Do not.

Abigail I'm sorry I do not know what to do.

Lady Sarah Oh fine, give it to her. And you can get a bucket and mop for the aftermath.

Anthony Let me explain. My daughter is of the opinion that I can’t manage on my own. So she’s moved in with me. Ostensibly to help me. With this man she met not long ago, just after her divorce, who has a very bad influence on her, I have to tell you.

Anne Look, what are you talking about, Dad?

Anthony And now she’d like to convince me that I can’t manage on my own. The next stage will be to send me away I don’t know where... Obviously, it’ll be a much more efficient way of getting hold of my flat.

Anne Dad...

Anthony But it’s not going to happen that way. I may as well tell you. I have no intention of leaving any time soon. No, you heard me. I intend to outlive you. Both of you. Yes. Well, I don’t know about you... But my daughter, yes. I shall make a point of it. I’m going to inherit from her. Not the other way round. The day of her funeral, I shall give a little speech to remind everyone how heartless and manipulative she was.

Hotel Manager We wish you every success and we hope, you will return to the city as a couple.

The Limping Man I'm very happy.

Nosebleed Woman Me, too.

Hotel Manager Congratulations The course of your relationship will be monitored closely.by our staff and by me personally. If you encounter any problems, any tensions, any arguing, that you cannot resolve yourselves, you will be assigned children. That usually helps, a lot.

Queen Anne Some wounds do not close; I have many such.

Hotel Manager Now the fact that you will turn into an animal if you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here is not something that should upset you or get you down. Just think, as an animal you'll have a second chance to find a companion. But, even then, you must be careful; you need to choose a companion that is a similar type of animal to you. A wolf and a penguin could never live together, nor could a camel and a hippopotamus. That would be absurd.

Queen Anne Did you just look at me? Did you!? Look at me. Look at me! HOW DARE YOU!? CLOSE YOUR EYES!

Hotel Manager Now have you thought of what animal you'd like to be if you end up alone?

David Yes. A lobster.

Hotel Manager Why a lobster?

David Because lobsters live for over one hundred years, are blue-blooded like aristocrats, and stay fertile all their lives. I also like the sea very much.

Queen Anne I like when she puts her tongue in me.

Queen Anne They were all staring, weren't they? I can tell even if I can't see. And I heard the word fat! Fat and ugly!

Lady Sarah Anne, no one but me would dare and I did not.

Anne I’m going to have to move, Dad. I’m going to have to leave London.

Anthony Really? Why?

Anne We talked about this. Do you remember?

Anthony Is that why you’re so keen on this nurse living with me? Well, obviously it is. The rats are leaving the ship.

Anne I won’t be here, Dad. I won’t be able to come here everyday. You need to understand that.

Anthony You’re leaving? When? I mean...why?

Anne I’ve met someone.

Anthony You?

Anne Yes.

Anthony You mean... a man?

Anne Yes.

Anthony Really?

Anne You needn’t sound so surprised.

Anthony No, it’s just that... since your... What was his name?

Anne James.

Anthony That’s right. You have to admit, since James, there hasn’t been a lot of... What’s he do, anyway?

Anne He lives in Paris. I’m going to go and live there.

Anthony What, you? In Paris? You’re not going to do that, are you, Anne? I mean, wake up... They don’t even speak English. Do I know him?

Anne Yes. You’ve met him.

Anthony So, if I understand correctly, you’re leaving me. Is that it? You’re abandoning me...

Anne Dad...

Anthony What’s going to become of me?
