What is everyone's favorite lines in this movie?
Mine would have to be...
Henry: (after being frightened by Daphne sitting in the kitchen) "You scared the bejesus out of me. So you're the milk thief?"
I also love the way he says, "I love you" to Daphne.
There are so many others that I cannot think of, but I am sure, once I watch the movie again it will jog my memory.

Gah! I haven't seen this movie enough times to know any particular "favorite quote", regrettably though. So I'll make it my quest to buy this movie and search for a favorite quote. Yay. Will give me excuse to watch Colin Firth movie...
~Noelle~
My favorite "serious" quote was when Ian says to Daphne "Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?"
But there were also some really funny ones...
Glynnis: I know my daddy's been naughty but what about me?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Henry: Remember when I told you how groovy I used to be?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daphne: Are you wearing a bra?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Henry: I don't give a flying fart in space what you think!
And many more!
You can't run from the wind. You trim your sails, face the music, and keep going.share
Will give me excuse to watch Colin Firth movie... share
Defenitly the one about trying to fit in but born to stand out.
shareclarissa: holy poo on toast!
sharei love tht quote and the one about a flying fart in space..lol
"There's no man, man enough to be another James Dean"
So the part right after they decide to let Daphne stay with them Glynnis is trying to convince him to check up on her and she says
Henry--"Checking up on what?"
Glynnis--"I don't know. Criminal Record, Blood Type, Triple 6's on her skull..."
She says it really fast, but when you hear it, it's hilarious!
By reading this you have just allowed me to control your mind for a short amount of time. Thank you
I like the part when Henry is inviting Daphne to the dress show after they first met.
Daphne: These are the kinds of things that Gwenyth and Madonna go to, right? Do you think they'd be there?
Henry: I really have no idea what you're talking about.
Just the way he says his line is so funny to me

well i dont have a favorite quote but did the grand mom call her ducky of daphie
i thought it was funny cause i keep hearing her say ducky
i think my favorite is at the boat show: "You know, I really wish you'd pull your LIP over your HEAD and SWALLOW IT!" Classic, that's a really good one.
sharei like what Henry was saying to Daphne about how boring the chandelier story was. also like the "holy poo on toast" LMAO!
shareNa, i like when daphne says to Clarisa and her two goons, "My evil stepsister, you've seen Cinderella, right? Let me clue you in, I win. "
Speech is given to many; intelligence to few.
The silence of a stupid man looks like wisdom.
Na, i like when daphne says to Clarisa and her two goons, "My evil stepsister, you've seen Cinderella, right? Let me clue you in, I win. " and
Glynnis Payne: Now Daphne, we don't want to make a scene now, do we?
Libby Reynolds: Take your hand off my daughter or you won't get a scene, you'll get a Broadway Musical!

I like the "why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you're born to stand out?", but also:
I'm British. We only show affection to dogs and horses.

Henry: Remember when I told you how groovy I used to be?
Henry: I love you
Daphne: I love you Dad
Henry: I don't give a flying fart in space what you think
Glynnis: Oh! put a cork in it
Clarisa: someone should have put a cork in it 17 years ago!
What a great scene!!
Glynnis Payne: Now Daphne, we don't want to make a scene now, do we?
Libby Reynolds: Take your hand off my daughter or you won't get a scene, you'll get a Broadway Musical!
haha...so freaking hillarious
Ian to Daphne - 'why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you're born to stand out'
share"She can dump tea in my harbour any day."
-A random British boy at the fashion show about Daphne.
Definately the "flying fart in space" quote and the "why are you trying to fit in when your born to stand out???" hes got such a gorgeous accent!!!!
share"She can dump tea in my harbour any day."
-A random British boy at the fashion show about Daphne.
^^
haha i love that one! i cracked up so much when i heard it!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Daphne attempts to leave after revealing herself and leaving everyone in an awkward shock)
Henry: Sorry, did you just say that you've known about this your whole life?
Daphne: Yeah
Jocelyn: (Randomly) Good, now that we have that settled, how about some tea and a nice piece of fruitcake?
Henry: But your mother didn't feel that I deserved the same consideration?
Jocelyn: (Realizing no one is listening to her) Oh...no to the fruitcake then!
Henry: How can she keep something like this from me!?
Glynnis: Excuse-me, what happened to the "mistake" theory we were operating on a moment ago?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Daphne is excited about her bedroom and hugs Jocelyn)
Jocelyn: Uh, no hugs dear, I'm British. We only show affection to dogs and horses!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Henry calls Libby for the first time)
Libby: Hello?
Henry: ...Libby
Libby: Henry! Is she there? Is she alright?
Henry: Yes, she's here...she's fine, mother's force feeding her ancient fruitcake as we speak!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Henry tells Daphne about Princess Charlotte's dog being neutered)
Daphne: Ewwww, tragic!
Henry: No the real tragedy is that he's still reproducing!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Daphne telling Clarissa not to be such a snob, she walks away irritated and looks back at Daphne)
Daphne: Bye!
Clarissa: Ugh!!!!! (then storms away)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My favorite serious one is "Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you're born to stand out"
and my favorite funny quote is "Holy poo on toast!"
~I will grow older but I'll never grow up.~
I like the one "Why are you trying so hard to fit in? When you were born to stand out."
Also I love when Libby and Daphne say I love you.
Libby: "I love you a million swedish fish"
Daphne: "I love you a million red M&M's"
It's just a really sweet personal way to say I love you.

Ian: Why are trying so hard to fit in when you are born to stand out?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Libby Reynolds: I love you a million Swedish Fish.
Daphne Reynolds: I love you a million red M&M's.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glynnis Payne: Oh, put a cork in it, Clarissa.
Clarissa: Maybe someone should've put a cork in it seventeen years ago
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Regarding Henry Dashwood's familiy mansion]
Daphne Reynolds: It's bigger than our entire apartment and the Chinese restaurant downstairs and the dry cleaner down the street; it makes the White House look like a McDonalds!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glynnis Payne: Now Daphne, we don't want to make a scene now, do we?
Libby Reynolds: Take your hand off my daughter or you won't get a scene, you'll get a Broadway Musical!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Henry Dashwood: I'm not explaining this very well, am I?
Daphne Reynolds: No, not really. But I'm having fun watching you try.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clarissa: [Sees Daphne fall over the wall] Did you see that?
Glynnis Payne: What?
Clarissa: An impossibly large bird falling off that wall.
Glynnis Payne: Are you hallucinating?
[Waves her hand in front of her face]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glynnis Payne: [Takes a bite of her eggs] These eggs are positively glacial. When I run this house, senile servants will be the first thing to go.
Clarissa: You'd have to get around the old bat somehow. She'd never allow it.
Jocelyn Dashwood: [Enters the room] Anyone seen my pruning shears? The *old bat* seems to have forgotten where she put them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Henry Dashwood: So are you and Daphne...
Ian: Yeah, we're eloping. I know it's rather sudden but after last night, there was no going back.
Henry Dashwood: You are joking aren't you?
Ian: Yes, of course.
"Where are you going to college."
"That would be the University of Undecided."
"...Is that in Ohio?"
"Yes...Undecided, Ohio."
That would be really hard to pick a favorite quote because there are a lot that I like.
Of course the classic that everyone seems to love, "Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you're born to stand out?"
I love the one when Daphne and Libby are at that wedding early on and Libby says, "I love you a million swedish fish" and then Daphne replies, "I love you a million red m&m's". That just sounds so cute to me!
I like the one from Glynnis when she's talking to Henry about Daphne over tea and she tries to silence Clarissa and says, "Put a cork in it Clarrisa!" and Clarissa just says, "Maybe somebody should have put a cork in it seventeen years ago!" Classic!
I just found this quote in the quotes section at imdb, but I don't remember seeing it in the movie and I've seen it a lot! Armistead's friend says, "I'd let her dump tea in my harbor anytime." That's awfully funny but I don't remember that!
The key to a long life is exotic women and cheese that doesn't smell.
Mine would have to be the when Henry meets Ian.
Henry: So you and Daphne are...
Ian: ...going to elope? Yeah. I know it's sudden and all, but after last night there's no going back.
Henry: (long pause) You're joking.
Glynnis Payne: Dont make a scene
Libby: If you ever touch my daughter 'i wont give you a scene, ill give you a broadway musical'
Glynnis Payne: Oh, put a cork in it, Clarissa.
Clarissa: Maybe someone should've put a cork in it seventeen years ago
Glynnis Payne: Now Daphne, we don't want to make a scene now, do we?
Libby Reynolds: Take your hand off my daughter or you won't get a scene, you'll get a Broadway Musical!
Definitely my favorite exchage. As a mom I was yelling "HELL YEAH"! I so wanted her to take that witch down.
