Notting Hill - Judgments on Celebrity Relationships and Appearances

William: So what do you think? Good move?
Honey: Good move. When all is said and done, she's nothing special. I saw her taking her trousers down and I definitely glimpsed some cellulite down there.
Bella: Good decision. All actresses are as mad as snakes.
William: Tony, what do you think?
Tony: Never met her, never want to.
William: Brilliant. Max?
Max: Absolutely. Never trust a vegetarian.
William: Great. Thanks. Brilliant.
Spike: I was called and I came. What's up?
Honey: William's just turned down Anna Scott.
Spike: [shocked] You daft prick!
Honey: No, no, no, no, it's actually quite sensible.
Bella: [looks at the painting of the Chagall that Anna gave William] That painting isn't the original, is it?
William: Umm, yeah, I think it might be.
Bernie: But she said she wanted to go out with you?
William: Yes...sort of...
Bernie: That's nice.
William: What?
Bernie: Well, you know, anyone saying they want to go out with you is...pretty great...isn't it?
William: [pause; Spike nods. Another pause] It was sort of sweet, actually- um, I mean, I know she's an actress and all that, so she can deliver a line, but she said she might be as famous as can be, but also...that she was just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. Oh, sod a dog, I've made the wrong decision, haven't I? Max, how fast is your car?

Notting Hill - Unattainable Love and Its Consequences

William: There's this girl...
Spike: Aha, see I've been getting a female vibe. Good. Speak on, dear friend.
William: [[w:Pandora's box|Pandora's box] Ah, see she's someone who can't be mine. And, uh it's as if I've taken love heroin and now I can't ever have it again. I've opened ] and there's trouble inside.
Spike: [pause; laughs] Yeah. Tricky. I knew a girl at school called Pandora...never got to see her box though.
William: Right. Well thanks, that's very helpful.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - Defending Liberty in Dark Times

Rufus Scrimgeour: [First lines] These are dark times, there is no denying. Our world has perhaps faced no greater threat than it does today. But I say this to our citizenry: We, ever your servants, will continue to defend your liberty and repel the forces that seek to take it from you! Your Ministry remains...strong.
Bill Weasley: Mad-Eye's dead. Mundungus took one look at Voldemort and disapparated.

Lucius Malfoy: [To Scabior] You dare to talk to me like that IN MY OWN HOUSE?!
Bellatrix Lestrange: [Ordering Narcissa to put both Harry and Ron in the cellar; To Hermione] Cissy, put the boys in the cellar! I want to have a little conversation with this one, girl-to-girl!
