Quotables #81: The Collective Cinema of Hugh Grant
Continuing our Collective Cinema Quotable game, we've decided to pick the movies of Hugh Grant. Each of the following quotes or snippets of dialogue are spoken by Grant. Your job is to guess which movies they're from.
Grant: It doesn't have to be perfect. Just spit it out. They're just lyrics.
Woman: "Just lyrics?"
Grant: Lyrics are important. They're just not as important as melody.
Woman: I really don't think you get it.
Grant: Oh. You look angry. Click your pen.
Woman: A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction. Sex.
Grant: I so get that.
Woman: But then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magical.
Movie 1:
Woman: He says no one's gonna fancy a girl with thighs the size of big tree trunks. Not a nice guy, actually, in the end.
Grant: Ah. You know, um, being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered.
Woman: Thank you, sir. I'll think about it.
Grant: Do. The SAS are absolutely charming. Ruthless trained killers are just a phone call away.
Movie 2:
Grant: Any idea who the girl in the black hat is?
Woman: The name's Carrie.
Grant: Pretty.
Woman: American.
Grant: Interesting.
Woman: Slut.
Grant: Really?
Woman: Used to work at Vogue. Lives in America now. Only gets out with very glamorous people. Quite out of your league.
Grant: Well, that's a relief. Thanks.
Movie 3:
Grant: I find the key is to think of a day as units of time, each unit consisting of no more than thirty minutes. Full hours can be a little bit intimidating, and most activities take about half an hour. Taking a bath: one unit. Watching "Countdown": one unit. Web-based research: two units. Exercising: three units. Having my hair carefully disheveled: four units. It's amazing how the day fills up, and I often wonder, to be absolutely honest, if I'd ever have time for a job. How do people cram them in?
Movie 4:
Grant: Now these are very silly little boots, [name deleted]. And this is a very silly little dress. And, um, these are, fuck me, absolutely enormous panties.
Woman: Jesus. Fuck.
Grant: No, no. Don't apologize. I like them. Hello, Mummy. I'm sorry. I have to have another look. They're too good to be true.
Woman: No...
Grant: They're nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm wearing something similar myself.
