Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
Young Bridesmaid: What's bonking? Scarlett: Well, it's kinda
like table tennis, only with slightly smaller balls.
Scarlett: They say rubber's mainly for perverts. Don't know
why. Think it's very practical, actually. I mean, you spill
anything on it and it just comes off. I suppose that could
be why the perverts like it.
Tom: Splendid, I thought. What did you think? Bernard: I,
thought, splendid! What did you think? Tom: Splendid, I
thought. Charles: How do you do, my name is Charles. Old
man: Don't be ridiculous, Charles died 20 years ago! Charles:
Must be a different Charles, I think. Old man: Are you telling
me I don't know my own brother! Charles: No, no.
Charles: All these weddings, all these years, all that blasted
salmon and champagne and here I am on my own wedding day,
and I'm... eh... em... eh... still thinking. Matthew: Well,
can I ask about what? Charles: No... no... I think, best
not.
[Carrie asks Charles' opinion on her wedding dress.] Charles:
It is dangerous! You know, there's nothing more off-putting
in a wedding than a priest with an enormous erection, yech!
Charles: Do you think there really are people who can just
go up and say, "Hi, babe. Name's Charles. This is your lucky
night"? Matthew: Well, if there are, they're not English.
Angus the Groom: Ignore her. She's drunk. At least I hope
she is. Otherwise I'm in real trouble.
Charles: Marriage is just a way of getting out of an embarrassing
pause in conversation. Gareth: The definitive icebreaker.
[At a wedding] Old lady: Are you married? Fiona: No. Old
lady: Are you a lesbian? Fiona: Good lord! What makes you
ask that? Old lady: Well, it is one of the possibilites
for unmarried girls nowadays, and it's rather more interesting
than saying, "Oh dear, never met the right chap," eh? Fiona:
Quite right. Why be dull? Old lady: Thank you. [long pause]
Fiona: I was a lesbian once at school, but only for about
fifteen minutes.
Charles: Why am I always at, uh, weddings, and never actually
getting married, now? Matthew: It's probably 'cause you're
a bit scruffy. Or it could also be 'cause you haven't met
the right girl. Charles: Ah, but you see, is that it? Maybe
I have met the right girls. Maybe I meet the right girls
all the time. Maybe it's me.
Tom: I always just hoped that, that I'd meet some nice friendly
girl, like the look of her, hope the look of me didn't make
her physically sick, then pop the question and, um, settle
down and be happy. It worked for my parents. Well, apart
from the divorce and all that.
Tom: The great advantage of having a reputation for being
stupid: People are less suspicious of you.
Father Gerald: In the name of the father, the son, and the
holy spigot.
Carrie: Our timing has been very bad. Charles: Yes it has
been. Very bad. Carrie: It's been a disaster. Charles: It
has been, as you say, very bad indeed.
