The Ladykillers quotes
-
Louisa Wilberforce: ...May I ask you where you studied?
One-Round: ...Well, I didn't really study any place, Lady... I just sort of... picked it up.
Louisa Wilberforce: You know, I was so surprised when I heard what you were playing. It brought back something that, really, I'd completely forgotten all about: my 21st birthday party. You see, my father had engaged a string quintet to come in and play in the evening; and while they were playing Boccherini, someone came in and said the old queen had passed away. And everyone went home. And that was the end of my party, all that time ago, in Pangbourne.
[silence]
Louisa Wilberforce: Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll run and make the tea. The kettle *must* be nearly on the boil.
One-Round: [after Mrs. Wilberforce leaves] Who's she talkin' about? Old queen who?
-
Louisa Wilberforce: [Mrs. Wilberforce knocks on the door, and starts pacing in no answer] Oh, oh dear, oh dear. Poor Mr. Robinson.
Louisa Wilberforce: [she knocks again, this time the music stops and Claude opens the door] I'm so sorry, Major Courtney, but I'm afraid General Gordon has bitten Mr. Robinson's finger. Now he's on the top of the cabinet and refuses to come down.
Louis: Mr. Robinson is on top of the cabinet?
Louisa Wilberforce: Oh, no Mr. Harvey. General Gordon. Mr. Lawson, you're the tallest. Do you think you could try to get him down for us?
One-Round: Sure, I'll get 'im, mum.
Louisa Wilberforce: [after One-Round starts down the stairs] Oh, I feel I'm being such a bother.
Louis: How could you possibly think a thing like that?
Louisa Wilberforce: Oh, you *are* kind.
