Notting
Hill
Anna Scott: You know what they say about men with big
feet.
William: No, I don't, actually. What's that?
Anna Scott: Big feet...
large shoes.
Anna
Scott: I've been on a diet everyday since I was nineteen, which basically means
I've been hungry for a decade. I've had a series of not so nice boyfriends, one
of whom hit me. And every time I get my heartbroken the newspapers splash it about
as thought it's entertainment. And it's taken two rather painful operations to
get me looking like this.
Honey: Really
Anna Scott: And one day, not long
from now, my looks will go. They will discover I can't act, and I will become
some sad middle-aged woman who looks a bit like someone who was famous for awhile.
Bella:
William just turned down Anna Scott.
Spike: You daft prat.
Anna
Scott: After all...I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to
love her.
Spike:
I'm going to tell you a story that will make your balls shrink to the size of
raisins.
William:
I enjoyed the movie very much. I was just wondering, did you ever consider having
more horses in it?
Anna Scott: Well, we would have liked to. But it was difficult,
obviously, being set in outer space.
Bernie:
I'm sorry I am so late. Bollocksed up at work again, I fear. Millions down the
drain.
Honey:
Oh God, this is one of those key moments in life, when it's possible you can be
really, genuinely cool - and I'm failing 100%. I absolutely and totally and utterly
adore you and I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world and more importantly
I genuinely believe and have believed for some time now that we can be best friends.
What do YOU think?
Keziah:
No thanks, I'm a fruitarian.
Max: I didn't realize that.
William: And,
ahm: what exactly is a fruitarian?
Keziah: We believe that fruits and vegetables
have feeling so we think cooking is cruel. We only eat things that have actually
fallen off a tree or bush - that are, in fact, dead already.
William: Right.
Right. Interesting stuff. So, these carrots...
Keziah: Have been murdered,
yes.
William: Murdered? Poor carrots. How beastly!
Max:
You haven't slept with her, have you?
William: That is a cheap question and
the answer is, of course, no comment.
Max: "No comment" means "yes."
William: No it doesn't.
Max: Do you ever masturbate?
William: DEFINITELY
no comment.
Max: You see? It means "yes."
William:
Whoopsidaisies!
Anna Scott: What did you say?
William: Nothing.
Anna
Scott: Yes you did.
William: No I didn't.
Anna Scott: You said "whoopsidaisies."
William: I don't think so. No one says "whoopsidaisies," do they?
Unless they're--
Anna Scott: There's no "unless." No one has said
"whoopsidaisies" for fifty years and even then it was only little girls
with blonde ringlets.
William: Exactly. Here we go again.
[He falls off
the fence again.]
William: Whoopsidaisies. It's a disease I've got. It's a
clincial thing. I'm taking pills and having injections. It won't last long.
William:
It's as if I've taken love heroin, and now I can't ever have it again.
Anna
Scott: Can I stay for a while?
William: You can stay forever.
William:
I live in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows
who you are.
Anna Scott: I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy,
asking him to love her.
Anna
Scott: I can't believe you have that picture on your wall.
William: You like
Chagall?
Anna Scott: I do. It feels like how being in love should be. Floating
through a dark blue sky.
William: With a goat playing the violin.
Anna
Scott: Yes - happiness wouldn't be happiness without a violin-playing goat.
Bella:
William just turned down Anna Scott.
Spike: You daft prick.
Anna
Scott: Rita Hayworth used to say, "They go to bed with Gilda; they wake up
with me."
William: Who's Gilda?
Anna Scott: Her most famous part.
Men went to bed with the dream; they didn't like it when they would wake up with
the reality. Do you feel that way?
William: You are lovelier this morning
than you have ever been.
William:
I live in Notting Hill; you live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows
who you are; my mother has troubles remembering my name.
Max:
Let's face facts, this was always a no-win situation. Anna's a goddess, you know
what happens to mortals who get involved with gods.
William: Buggered, is
it?
Max: Every time.
Spike:
I knew a girl at school called Pandora. Never got to see her box, though.
Anna
Scott: I've been on a diet everyday since I was nineteen, which basically means
I've been hungry for a decade. I've had a series of not-so-nice boyfriends, one
of whom hit me. And every time I get my heart broken, the newspapers splash it
about as though it's entertainment. And it's taken two rather painful operations
to get me looking like this.
Honey: Really.
[Anna taps her chin and nose.]
Anna Scott: And one day, not long from now, my looks will go. They will discover
I can't act, and I will become some sad middle-aged woman who looks a bit like
someone who was famous for a while.
Martin:
Hey! I'll choose the route! James Bond never had to put up with this shit!
Spike:
There's something wrong with this yogurt.
William: Ah, that's not yogurt,
that's mayonnaise...
Spike: ah, right-o then.
[continues to eat it]
William:
Is this your first film?
12-yr-old Actress: Well.. actually it's my 22nd!
William: Oh , yes of course and which actors did you most enjoy working with?
12-yr-old Actress: Mmm, Leonardo I suppose.
William: Yes, yes, Da Vinci?
12-yr-old Actress: No, Di Caprio of course!!!
