Quartet Quotes

  • Simon: We were not doing anything...

    Jean: Neither were we.

  • Jean: This is not a retirement home, it is a madhouse!

  • Jean: Make up your mind, dear.

  • Jean: I'm going to say something very rude to you: fuck you.

  • Reginald Paget: [to a class of teenagers] Opera is: when a guy's stabbed in the back, instead of bleeding, he sings. It seems to me, after much research, that rap is when a guy is stabbed in the back, and instead of bleeding, he talks. Er, rhythmically, even with feeling. But because rap's *spoken*, the feeling is sort of held in check: all on one note.

  • Jean: Are you telling me to go out and smell the roses?

    Cissy Robson: Oh no. We're telling you the roses are long gone. But the chrysanthemums are magnificent.

  • Jean: Oh Reg, please, this is the first time we've seen each other in God knows how many years.

    Reginald Paget: Ninety-seven.

    Cissy Robson: [gasps] Is it really that long? God, how time flies.

  • Wilf Bond: When you're finished being a croquet expert, Nigel, a pound I'll kick your arse.

    Nigel: The way you play you probably will. You forget I saw your Barber of Seville, your singing brought tears to y ears.

  • Wilf Bond: I read somewhere that the average man thinks of sex every seven seconds.

    Reginald Paget: Do you?

    Wilf Bond: I wish, it was only every seven seconds.

  • Dr. Lucy Cogan: [Showing a picture] This is Sir Thomas Beecham. He was one of Britain's greatest composers.

    Jean: Yes, I know who he was. He inherited a fortune. His grandfather made laxatives. Naming a nursing home after him is frighteningly apt.

  • Jean: Why do we have to get old?

    Reginald Paget: That's what people do.
