Quotes of Movie: "Bread" [1986]
|
[Nellie is on the phone] Who are you on to? Nellie Boswell: The electricity department. £145, they want. They must think we grow our own money. We haven't got it, I said, and that's that. We're all unemployed here. Joey Boswell: [opening post] Ah, it's my gold American Express card. Nellie Boswell: Not as nice as the Barclay one, is it? There's more money goes into your house than through Tesco's till. [about Aveline] Have you seen her run for the bus? Her dress comes up around her chin. By the time she gets to the bus, she's all knickers and earrings. Adrian, we've got one phone. Now, the other three are personal connections, brought about by the fact that Jack has a lot of friends in British Telecom. And I happen to be very good with wires. | |

[Joey is sorting out the family problems] It's Julie. She's pregnant. Joey Boswell: God, this is getting worse! Billy Boswell: She says I did it. Joey Boswell: What do you mean, she said you did it? Billy Boswell: She's right. I did. [on having grandchildren] After all, the child might be the only extra Boswell we'll get. Our Jack is too disillusioned, our Joey is too wise, our Adrian is too depressed and Aveline doesn't want to spoil her body. You're the only one thick enough to wade in there. Joey Boswell: Greetings! I know how to solve the problem and get peace. I'll kill the pair of them! I've got a common wife-in-law and a baby, you know. For what we are about to receive, may the Lord help us to pay for. [about his dad] He was only here for the party, wasn't he? He didn't stay for the washing up. Carmen, I'd like to go to the party and have a good time. You know? Indulge, partake, lose all my faculties without having to find them again afterwards. [about Billy] It must be wonderful for him. Joey financed his sandwich business, Mam makes his sandwiches, I find him his customers, Dad gave him a van and he takes the profit, scoffs his meal and goes into a coma till the next bell rings. Aveline Boswell: He has got Julie and the baby to think about. Jack Boswell: And in between that, he finds time to procreate! Has he not heard "and the meek shall inherit the earth"? Nellie Boswell: Oh, yes, Father. But he doesn't want the Earth. He just wants money. Why don't you put your teddy bear down and face up to things? We aren't all made of leather. Some of us are made of silk! Look, we're both women. We have handbags, and ovaries. We're as devious and clever as a gifted monkey, and here we are fighting over a little man with a yellow cart. Nellie Boswell: Is that how you see him? Lilo Lil: No. I thought that's how you might see him. You loved me Tuesdays and Saturdays, in between "Come home, Joey, all is not well" phone calls. It's funny how we're always running away from women. It's like those poor male spiders in the jungle. You want to but you don't know whether or not she'll eat you afterwards. Julie and I took the baby to the park. I had a smashing time on the swings. Do you mind if I sit down, Grandad, or were you going to watch the news? Grandad: No. I turned it off before the newscaster killed himself. [comes downstairs in a flowered shirt] It's my new image. Jack Boswell: You look like a hanging basket. [Aveline has decided to give up modelling] You'll be like a normal girl. You won't spend hours in the bathroom defoliating yourself. You're about as organised as tossed salad. Who knows? The magic all might dry up. The universe might be short of Boswells. At least he'll rectify the situation. Billy Boswell: So what am I, then? The family stud? | |
