Quotes from Colin Firth movies and TV shows

Mark Darcy: I don't think you're an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother's pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever's in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences... But the thing is, um, what I'm trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are.

Bridget: Wait a minute... Nice boys don't kiss like that.
Mark Darcy: Oh, yes, they fucking do.

Bridget: You once said you liked me just as I am and I just wanted to say likewise. I mean there are stupid things your mum buys you, tonight's another... Classic. You're haughty, and you always say the wrong thing in every situation and I seriously believe that you should rethink the length of your sideburns. But, you're a nice man and I like you. If you wanted to pop by some time that might be nice... More than nice.
Mark Darcy: Right, crikey.

Mark Darcy: I realize that when I met you at the turkey curry buffet, I was unforgivably rude, and wearing a reindeer jumper.

Mark Darcy: Hello?
Bridget Jones: It's me. Just wondered how you are.
Mark Darcy: I'm fine thanks. Everything all right with you?
Bridget Jones: Fine, though, er, I've just had a rather graphic shag flashback. You do have a genuinely gorgeous bottom.
Mark Darcy: Right, well, thank you. I'm actually with the Mexican Ambassador just at the moment and the Head of Amnesty International and the Under Secretary for Trade and Industry and you're on speakerphone.
Bridget Jones: Oh, right.

Margaret Lax: The police seem so certain, are you sure you wanna do this?
Ron Lax: Yes. Yes I am.
Margaret Lax: It's just that sometimes you take these things so personally. You know, you lose perspective. You get obsessed.
Ron Lax: That's right, Magggie. When I see something like this happen, when I see a town lose three of its children, and they sacrifice three more for revenge, then I do take it personally.

Pam Hobbs: I don't know anymore.
Ron Lax: Neither do I. But I know in my heart that Jason, Jessie, and Damien did not do this.

Ron Lax: But if these three boys are innocent, would you want three families to lose their children too?

Ron Lax: Come on, Jerry. All that occult crime, Satanic panic stuff's been studied by the FBI and they said it's all smoke and no fire.

The Major: Uh, that was the third time, sir.
Harry Deane: This isn't a math class.

Harry Deane: Best to let the fish work the hook in himself, eh, Major?
The Major: Much the best, Mr. Deane.

Harry Deane: I see the painting. A reproduction though, Sir, in my opinion.
Lionel Shahbandar: Bloody hell, based on what?
Harry Deane: Based on the fact that it's hanging on a wall of a caravan, Sir. In Texas.

Barbara: You're all very brave.
Joe: Yeah, well, we don't have much choice.

Vermeer: Look at me. Now, turn your head. Not your shoulders. Look at me. There. That's it.

Reggie Turner: How do you like your new name?
Oscar Wilde: Almost as much as I loathe the old one.

Reggie Turner: From what you say, Oscar, it would seem that Reading Gaol is an enchanted castle. With the governor as its presiding elf.
