Quotes of Movie: "The Brittas Empire" [1991]
|
Gordon Brittas: Eeeexcellent. Gordon Brittas: I have a dream. A dream that one day... [Brittas thinks Carole is putting on too much weight] Carole, could you come here a minute? Laura Lancing: [seeing Carole come from behind the desk] I think Carole is expecting a baby, Mr. Brittas. I want you all to have a good dream tonight and bring it in with you tomorrow. | |

Could you give this to my husband? Laura Lancing: Yes, of course. Helen Brittas: It's just to tell him it's fish cakes for supper and I'm pregnant. Laura Lancing: Helen, that's fantastic! Helen Brittas: Well, after today's events I thought the news had rather lost its novelty value. You're going to die anyway if you get pneumonia. Tim Whistler: Good. At least I'll die of something I'm not scared of. Since I have been manager, I am proud to say there have only been twenty-three deaths. And not one of them was a staff member. It is seven years to the day since the first member of the public walked through those doors. Gavin Featherly: And you threw him out, Mr. Brittas! Gordon Brittas: He was wearing unauthorised water wings, Gavin. You can't argue with a government department. Why can't we use the canteen? Gordon Brittas: If you remember, Julie, the canteen was sealed by the police until after the inquest. Gavin Featherly: But if there's food in there . . . Laura Lancing: I spoke to one of the forensic scientist, Gavin. Believe me, you wouldn't want to touch it. Why don't I get a sardine, Mr. Brittas? Gordon Brittas: Carole, the points system takes into the account that some people are more valuable to the group than the others. Every time I walk into a room, a fight seems to break out. Normally I have to spend New Year's Eve with Gordon's family. It's rather nice being with people I like. I'd rather be somewhere decent with clean clothes and a stiff drink. I can't see him till ten, can I? Laura Lancing: Why not? Helen Brittas: It takes half an hour for the pills to work. If you remember, Mr. Brittas, you told the ambulance men to come round to the back in future. You thought it was better for morale. I've just seen Larry Whittaker. He says he's going to kill Brittas. Tim Whistler: I've always liked Larry. [speaking to the staff] Does anyone know a black person who could help us out? Come on, someone must! He's only got to stand in line for a few minutes... [looks around] Linda Perkin: [steps forward, enthusiastically] The Baptist Church has a gospel choir! Gordon Brittas: We don't want to flood the place, Linda. [points at Gavin, who is standing with Tim] Gordon Brittas: Gavin, what about that chap I saw you with the other evening? Gavin Featherly: I'm sorry? Gordon Brittas: The chap in the pub on Tuesday. [Tim turns to Gavin incredulously] Gavin Featherly: Oh, I... Tim Whistler: [accusingly] You said you were at your mother's on Tuesday! Gavin Featherly: [to Brittas] I think you must have made a mistake! Gordon Brittas: No, tall, good looking black chap. Tim Whistler: Well, that's very nice, I must say! [storms out] Don't worry, I'm dealing with it! Now, Tim, if I could just have a word? [takes Tim into his office] Gordon Brittas: Now, that was a bit out of character this morning, wasn't it? It may just be my imagination, but I thought you were a bit "tetchy" in the lineup. Tim Whistler: Oh, that. No, it's all sorted out. Gordon Brittas: Meant to be doing something with you, was he, young Gavin? Tim Whistler: ... yes. Sort of. Gordon Brittas: And he went to the pub instead. Tim, life's too short to worry about things like that. If I had a pound for everyone who promised to meet me and never showed up, I'd be Paul Getty Jr! Timothy- it's human nature! Tim Whistler: Really. Gordon Brittas: I was unmarried once myself too, you know. Used to go to the pub with my mates, have a few drinks, a game of darts, a few more drinks, go for a takeaway, next thing you know, it's three in the morning and you wake up on the floor in some total strangers flat! [Tim gets panicked and worried look on his face] Gordon Brittas: But what does it matter, eh, Tim, boy? [puts his hand on Tim's shoulder as he leaves the room] Gordon Brittas: It's not as if you're married to the man, is it! [sniggers] Gordon Brittas: [Tim closes his eyes and leaves, absolutely horrified] [Angie hands him a box of tissues and a mug of coffee] Tim Whistler: We're going to die! We're all going to die! "Semper, Omnibus, Facultas"! Don't you understand what that means? Laura, how's the lorry driver? Laura Lancing: Yeah, I gave him your message about staying, Mr. Brittas. He said he's rather take his chances in the snow. Julie, you have a brain! I can see why that young man of yours wants to marry you. Carole, when my last client left, was he all hunched up, jabbering to himself? Carole Parkinson: Yes. Helen Brittas: Good, good. He's getting better. | |
