Memorable Moments

Quotes

  • Andy: Well, no, it's all just stuff like "ohhh, I'm playing with myself".
    Kate Winslet (in a nun costume; overhearing): Sounds interesting.
    Andy: Hi. Not me. Her.
    Kate: Go on.
    Andy: Her boyfriend likes to talk dirty on the phone and she doesn't know what to say to him.
    Kate Winslet: Oh yeah, that can be the awkward. Oh, why don't you start with something light, like, erm, "I'd love it if you stuck your willy wonka between my oompa loompas." You know something a bit fun, a bit jokey, and then you can get more hardcore, rattle off the old classics like "I'm playing with my dirty pillows", "I'm aching for your big purple-headed womb ferret", and then go straight in hard like "Get round here 'cause I'm fudding myself stupid and I'm bloody loving it." Alright?
    Andy: Yeah.
    Ashley: Yeah.
    Kate Winslet: Anyway, back on.
    Andy: Kate Winslet, just talking dirty to Anne Frank and Joseph Goebbels. Just another normal day.
  • (Andy walks into his agent's office.)
    Agent: Alright mate, come and check this out. I just typed in 58008 into a calculator and, um, yeah, lo and behold, amazingly, comes up (he holds the calculator up upside-down) "boobs". You see that? That's terrific now, isn't it?
    Andy: Good.
  • Andy: I'm an actor as well. If there's a line going in this film, I'd love to be part of this also, because I'd just like to say you doing this is so commendable. You know, using your profile to keep the message alive about the Holocaust.
    Kate Winslet: My God I'm not doing it for that. I mean, I don't think we need another film about the Holocaust, do we? It's like, how many have there been? No, we get it, it was grim, move on. No, I'm doing this because I've noticed that if you do a film about the Holocaust, guaranteed an Oscar. I've been nominated four times. Never won. The whole world is going, "why hasn't Winslet won one?"
    Andy: Def—yeah.
    Kate Winslet: That's it. That's why I'm doing it. Schindler's bloody List. The Pianist. Oscars coming out of their arse.
  • Priest: How are you son?
    (Andy takes his hand and kisses it.)
    Priest: Oh, you don't have to do that, I'm not the Pope.
    Andy: No, it's old habits die hard. My old priest used to make me kiss him. On the ring—on his thing. Not , no there's none of that going on. That makes me sick as well, people saying priests, they're pedophiles and kiddy fiddlers. There's probably, I mean, there probably are, you probably know some, but it's no, no higher percentage of perverts in—but you know, they're all walks of life, aren't they? There are Nazis everywhere. But let's not exaggerate the issue is what I'm saying. I've never been touched by a priest. I've been touched by God. Not in that way. In the heart, but, you know, or, uhh, oh, condoms. Do we need them? Don't think so! Let the free seed of love gush forth.
    (Priest stares at Andy.)
