My
Best Friend's Wedding (1997)
Kimmy Wallace: He sucks soup through his front teeth. Julianne
Potter: That's a trademark move -- don't touch that one.
Kimmy Wallace: But he sure can kiss.
George Downes: The misery! The exquisite tragedy! The Susan
Hayward of it all!
Julianne 'Jules' Potter: This is my one chance at happiness.
I have to be ruthless!
George Downes: Hmm, death by mini-bar. How glamorous.
Julianne 'Jules' Potter: I have done nothing but underhanded,
despicable, not even terribly imaginative things since I
got here.
Kimmy's Mother: I insist you stay on for lunch. Julianne
'Jules' Potter: No, no, no, no, no... Absolutely--- George
Downes: Love to! Love the bag, love the shoes, love everything.
Love to!
Julianne 'Jules' Potter: Michael... I love you. I've loved
you for nine years, I've just been too arrogant and scared
to realize it, and... well, now I'm just scared. So, I realize
this comes at a very inopportune time but I really have
this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me. Marry me.
Let me make you happy. Oh, that sounds like three favors,
doesn't it?
Kimberly 'Kimmy' Wallace: I love this man, and there is
no way that I'm gonna give him up to some two-faced, big-haired
food critic.
Michael O'Neill: Kimmy says if you love someone you say
it, you say it right then, out loud. Otherwise the moment
just... Julianne Potter: Passes you by... Michael O'Neill:
Passes you by...
Julianne 'Jules' Potter: It is the duty of the best man
to dance with the maid of honor. Michael 'Mike' O'Neal:
Dance? You can't dance. When did you learn how to dance?
Julianne 'Jules' Potter: I've got moves you've never seen.
George Downes: Kindred spirits, eh? Julianne 'Jules' Potter:
No, he's nothing like me. He's like you, actually, only
straight.
Julianne 'Jules' Potter: I had the strangest dream. I dreamt
that some psychopath was trying to break the two of you
up. Luckily, I woke up and I see that the world is just
as it should be.
Julianne 'Jules' Potter: I'm pond scum. Well, lower actually.
I'm like the fungus that feeds on pond scum. Michael 'Mike'
O'Neal: Lower. The pus that infects the mucus that cruds
up the fungus that feeds on the pond scum. On the other
hand, thank you for loving me that much, that way. It's
pretty flattering. Julianne 'Jules' Potter: Except it makes
me fungus.
Kimmy: He's got you on a pedestal and me in his arms.
George Downes: Tell him you love him. Bite the bullet.
George Downes: It's amazing the clarity that comes with
psychotic jealousy.
George: You're probably drumming your fingernails on the
white linen tablecloth the way you do when you're really
feeling down. Perhaps even looking at those nails thinking,
"God, I should have stopped in all my evil plotting to have
that manicure."
George: Why don't we stop and have a drink? You can take
a later flight. Julianne: No, no, no, no. I'm a busy girl.
I've got exactly four days to break up a wedding, steal
the bride's fella and I haven't one clue how to do it.
[On why George is in town visiting her] Julianne Potter:
He just came in for a few hours to uh, to uh, fuck me.
Julianne Potter: Crème brûlée can never be Jell-O. YOU could
never be Jell-O. Kimmy Wallace: I HAVE to be Jell-O! Julianne
Potter: You're never gonna be Jell-O!
Julianne Potter: You're going to humiliate me, aren't you?
George Downes: Only if I can.
George Downes: Maybe there won't be marriage, maybe there
won't be sex, but by God there'll be dancing!
George Downes: Death by mini-bar!
