![]() Margaret Rutherford Quotation"I hope I'm an individual. I suppose an eccentric is a super individual. Perhaps an eccentric is just off centre - ex-centric. But that contradicts a belief of mine that we've got to be centrifugal." "You never have a comedian who hasn't got a very deep strain of sadness within him or her. One thing is incedental on the other. Every great clown has been very near to tragedy." Movie Title: Agatha Christie's 'Murder, She Said' (1961) as Miss Marple: Ackenthorpe : If you don't shut those windows you'll be fired. Miss Marple : In that case I shall require four weeks' wages in lieu of notice. Ackenthorpe : Get out of my sight, woman! Miss Marple : With pleasure! Craddock : Have they got any other servants? Miss Marple : Yes they have, Inspector. Craddock : Good Lord! You! Miss Marple : Yes. Dottie old me. Ackenthorpe : There is one thing I cannot tolerate, and that is impertinence. Miss Marple : Well, we should get on admirably. Neither can I! Mr. Stringer : What a frightful looking man. Miss Marple : What a frightful looking dog. Ackenthorpe : Cod's as good as lobster any day, and much cheaper. Miss Marple : Well, that depends on whether or not one has a palate unsullied by cheap opiates. Ackenthorpe : If you mean what I think you mean, I'll have you know this cheroot cost two shillings! Miss Marple : Yes. Quite. Miss Marple : A policeman's work is never done. Miss Marple : I'm afraid I never can resist my own pie, Inspector. Anybody else's, of course. Alexander : You know, it isn't just that you don't look like Jane Mansfield. You're not *my* idea of a maid, either. Miss Marple : Well, quite honestly, I don't think *you're* everybody's idea of a boy. Ackenthorpe : I hope it'll be a long time before I have to put up with the whole pack of them again. Miss Marple : Not a very nice way to talk about one's family. Ackenthorpe : Not a very nice family. Craddock : With holding information from the police is a very serious matter. Miss Marple : Oh, I know, Inspector, and I'm most awfully sorry. Will you take tea? Ackenthorpe : Well, I've decided to marry you. Miss Marple : Well, I'm honored, of course. Ackenthorpe : Of course you are, but come to the point. Miss Marple : I'm afraid that cannot be. Ackenthorpe : Why?! Miss Marple : Well, if ever I do embark on such a venture, there is someone else. Ackenthorpe : Nonsense! I don't believe it. Who on earth would have you? Movie Title: The Importance of Being Earnest (1952) as Miss Prism: Miss Prism : The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means. |
