Quotes of Movie: "Wives and Daughters" [1999]

  • Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
    In short, Mama, the one man may steal a horse - the other musn't look over the hedge?



    Claire Gibson:
    Oh, do be quiet child! All proverbs are vulgar, and I do believe that is the vulgarist of them all! I really think you're catching Roger Hamley's coarseness, Cynthia.

  • Miss Phoebe:
    We always knew Roger Hamley loved our Molly.



    Miss Browning:
    We knew no such thing, Phoebe.



    Miss Phoebe:
    Well, he rode seven miles to bring her a wasp's nest and you don't do that for no reason!

  • Molly Gibson:
    You've never vexed me in my whole life, Roger.

  • Roger Hamley:
    Mr. Preston, perhaps you should remember the deference you should show to a man of my father's age and position. Good day to you!

  • Roger Hamley:
    How are you, was it a very trying day? I thought about you, more than once.



    Molly Gibson:
    Thank you, I did try to remember what you said and to think more of all this, but you know it's so difficult.



    Roger Hamley:
    I know, but you know you'll be happier for it by and by.



    Molly Gibson:
    No, I shan't, and if I'm to kill myself as it were trying to think and behave as other people want me to I feel I might as well never have lived. And as for the happiness you speak of, well I shall never be happy again!

  • Squire Hamley:
    I understand a deal more than you think I understand.

  • Lady Cumnor:
    Weally Hawiet, I cannot understand why you take such an intewest in these petty Hollingford affairs.



    Lady Harriet Cumnor:
    Oh mama, it's only tit for tat. They take the keenest interest in ours.

  • Roger Hamley:
    May I come to the house?



    Mr. Gibson:
    I won't run the risk of infection if you don't mind.



    Roger Hamley:
    Then I won't see Molly before I leave.



    Mr. Gibson:
    Oh. So that's how it is.

  • Lady Cumnor:
    I wonder what Claire could be doing to allow such goings on.

  • Lady Harriet Cumnor:
    That was a good day's work I think.

  • Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
    I do think life is very dreary.

  • Lady Cumnor:
    Now Claire, when I think a thing I say it out loud. I don't beat about the bush. You have spoiled that girl of yours til she does not know her own mind. She has behaved abominably to Mr Pweston and it is all due to the faults in her education. You have much to answer for.



    Claire Gibson:
    Cynthia... and Mr Preston?



    Lady Cumnor:
    Claire! Do you mean to tell me you don't know. Your daughter has been engaged to Mr Pweston for some time. Years I believe. And has now decided to break it off. To be a "jilting jessie" as we used to call it.



    Lady Harriet Cumnor:
    Mr Preston did not want it spoken of.



    Lady Cumnor:
    She has used the Gibson girl as a cat's paw and made her and herself the butt of all the gossip in Hollingford.

  • Squire Hamley:
    Here's the young master.



    Lady Cumnor:
    Quite a credit to his mother.

  • Aimée:
    I think Roger likes you very much.



    Molly Gibson:
    There was a time we used to be like brother and sister.



    Aimée:
    No. I don't think so.

  • Molly Gibson:
    It's the one you did a drawing of.



    Roger Hamley:
    You remember?



    Molly Gibson:
    Of course I remember. I remember everything you wrote in your letters. How could you think I wouldn't?

  • Mr. Gibson:
    You're becoming a very surprising young woman.

  • Mr. Gibson:
    Is this true Cynthia?



    Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
    Molly knows it all.



    Mr. Gibson:
    Yes, I know that and that she has had to endure gossip and slander for your sake. But more she refused to tell me.



    Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
    Oh, she told you that much did she?



    Molly Gibson:
    I couldn't help it.



    Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
    Why did you have to say anything at all?



    Mr. Gibson:
    Because her reputation was attacked for your misconduct and I demanded an explanation.

  • Molly Gibson:
    Must I call her mama?

  • Molly Gibson:
    I do so hate having these underhand dealings with him.

  • Squire Hamley:
    Where's that little chap of mine?

  • Miss Phoebe:
    Oh sister, Molly Gibson has lost her character and it is Mr Preston after all!

    How much is twice eighteen? Thirty?



    Lady Cumnor:
    Thirty six.



    Lord Cumnor:
    Ah! So, Molly Gibson is to marry Mr Preston.



    Lady Cumnor:
    Is she indeed?



    Lady Harriet Cumnor:
    Are you sure you've got it right Papa?

  • Lady Cumnor:
    Although there is a general pwejudice against attorneys it may be that your Mr... Henderson is an exception.

  • Molly Gibson:
    Cynthia, don't. Your husband this morning and mine tonight? What do you take him for?



    Cynthia Kirkpatrick:
    A man.

  • Lady Harriet Cumnor:
    You men concern yourselves with the eternal verities. We women are content to ponder the petty things in life.
