ROLE
QUOTES
FROM THE FILM
Bridget: This
is an occasion for genuinely tiny knickers.
Bridget: Bridget
Jones, wanton sex goddess, with a very bad man between
her thighs... Mum... Hi.
Bridget: Daniel,
what you just did is actually illegal in several countries.
Daniel Cleaver: That is one of the reasons that I'm
so happy to be living in Britain today.
Daniel Cleaver:
Come on Bridget, we belong together - you, me, your
little skirt. If I can't make it with you then I can't
make it with anyone.
Bridget: That's not a good enough offer for me.
Mark Darcy:
I realize that when I met you at the turkey curry
buffet, I was unforgivably rude, and wearing a reindeer
jumper.
Bridget: It
is a truth universally acknowledged that when one
part of your life starts going okay, another falls
spectacularly to pieces.
Mark Darcy:
I like you, very much.
Bridget: Ah, apart from the smoking and the drinking,
the vulgar mother and... ah, the verbal diarrhea.
Mark Darcy: No, I like you very much. Just as you
are.
Mark Darcy:
I don't think you're an idiot at all. I mean, there
are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother's
pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly
bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever's
in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration
of the consequences... But the thing is, um, what
I'm trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um,
in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you,
very much. Just as you are.
Bridget: You
once said you liked me just as I am and I just wanted
to say likewise. I mean there are stupid things your
mum buys you, tonight's another... classic. You're
haughty, and you always say the wrong thing in every
situation and I seriously believe that you should
rethink the length of your sideburns. But, you're
a nice man and I like you. If you wanted to pop by
some time that might be nice... more than nice.
Mark Darcy:
All right Cleaver, outside.
Daniel Cleaver: (Half laughing)I'm sorry? Outside?
Should I bring my dueling pistols or my sword?
