Sir Francis Walsingham: All Norfolk need do is sign this paper and treason will have been committed.
Elizabeth: Then let him sign it, and let it all be done.
Sir Francis Walsingham: There is so little beauty in this world, and so much suffering. Do you suppose that is what God had in mind? That is to say if there is a god at all. Perhaps there is nothing in this universe but ourselves. And our thoughts.
Evelyn: You know if you really love me, you'll find a way to drop dead in the next three seconds.
Stephen Price: Finding ways for me to die is really your deal, isn't it Eveline? Let's not forget the OJ knife with the not-quite-retractable blade. Your Jim Jones Kool-Aid was exactly that.
Evelyn: Accidents, all accidents until proven otherwise.
Stephen Price: Let's go down and greet your guests. Show them the real you. Corny as Kansas on the Fourth of July.
Evelyn: Who invited them?
Stephen Price: I don't know, it wasn't me and you say it wasn't you. Who then, Evelyn? Ghosts?
Evelyn: Ooh, spooky.
Evelyn: I gave you a goddamn guest list two pages long. Where the hell are they?
Stephen Price: Shredded. Sorry. Decided to whip up one of my own: a group so hungry for money they'd be willing to do anything. I thought you'd be more comfortable with your peers.
Lionel Logue: I believe sucking smoke into your lungs will kill you.
King George VI: My physicians say it relaxes the throat.
Lionel Logue: They're idiots.
King George VI: They've all been knighted.
Lionel Logue: Makes it official then.
Lionel Logue: What was your earliest memory?
King George VI: I'm not...here to discuss...personal matters.
Lionel Logue: Why are you here then?
King George VI: Because I bloody well stammer!
Lionel Logue: Do you know any jokes?
King George VI: ...Timing isn't my strong suit.
Lionel Logue: Do you know the "f" word?
King George VI: Ffff... Fornication?
Peter Sellers: People ask me why do I keep compromising my artistic integrity by walking in front of Blake's cameras. And you know what I tell them? Money.
Peter Sellers: I'm under a lot of pressure, I could use your support.
Anne Sellers: You've always had my support, Peter. It's my patience that I'm no longer sure about.
Businessman on Plane: Excuse me, but aren't you Peter Sellers?
Peter Sellers: Not today.
Interviewer - Switzerland: Peter, how are you able to inhabit your characters so successfully?
Peter Sellers: Ah well, you see, I don't really have any personality of my own. There used to be a me behind the mask but I had it surgically removed.
Barbossa: You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner. You're in one!
[Barbossa is about to kill Will, but Jack shows up.]
Barbossa: It's not possible!
Jack Sparrow: Not probable.
Will Turner: Where's Elizabeth?
Jack Sparrow: She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word, really. Except for Elizabeth, who is in fact, a woman.
Barbossa: So you're going to leave me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need while I watch you sail away on my ship?
Jack Sparrow: No. I plan on leaving you on some beach with no name at all while you watch me sail away on MY ship and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy?
Barbossa: That still leaves us the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need.
Jack Sparrow: Since I'm the only one here who hasn't committed mutiny, my word's the one we'll be trusting. Actually, I should be thanking you because if you hadn't marooned me and left me to die, I'd have a share in the curse same as you. Funny little world now, isn't it?
Barbossa: You're off the edge of the map, mate! Here, there be monsters!
Ronald: If you truly love something or somebody, laundry man, you get as far away from 'em as possible. Cause we're sand, they're flowers.
