Asa Butterfield movie quotes

View Quote [to Isabelle] I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason too.

View Quote Maybe that's why a broken machine always makes me a little sad, because it isn't able to do what it was meant to do... Maybe it's the same with people. If you lose your purpose... it's like you're broken.

View Quote Listen to me! Please! Please! Listen to me! You don't understand! You have to let me go! I don't understand, why my father died! Why I'm alone!

View Quote Major Gwen: Why'd you keep kicking him? You'd already won the fight. Did you enjoy it?
Ender: No. Then why? Speak up, son. Knocking him down was the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones too. So they'd leave me alone.

View Quote Colonel Graff: But you have a habit of upsetting your commander.
Ender: I find it hard to respect someone just because they outrank me, sir.

View Quote Ender: I've had a lot of fights, Val. I've won because I've always understood the way my enemy thinks. And when I truly understand them...
Valentine: You also love them.

View Quote Celia: Where are we?
Cyril: We're in the land of poo. Duck poo, hen poo, cow poo, goat poo. Poo as far as the eye can see.
Blenkinsop: Here we are then. Out you get.
Cyril: In fact, it's a British museum of poo.
Celia: Have you gone completely insane, Blenkinsop? Mummy would never send me to a place like this. Take me home. [screams as Vincent frightens her] You see?! They are savages. I refuse to leave the car!
Cyril: Oh, put a sock in it, Ceels! We've got no choice.
Celia: Take me home right now!
Cyril: And you know why we haven't got a choice too. So let's just stop pretending we're here because of bombs.
Celia: They're probably cannibals! Did you see that thing out the window?
Cyril: Greetings, O covered-in-poo people. Do you speak English?
Norman: You're early.
Cyril: Yes, poo man. We've come from far away. Far from the land of soap and indoor toilets.

View Quote Nanny McPhee: Good evening, Mrs. Green. I am Nanny McPhee.
Isabel: Oh, you’re it! I mean, her. Who-who are you?
Nanny McPhee: I am Nanny McPhee. Small C, Big P.
Isabel: Right. Thing is, I haven’t hired a nanny. I don’t need a nanny. I’m managing perfectly well. I never had a nanny because I don’t want a nanny.
Nanny McPhee: I am an army nanny, Mrs. Green, I have been deployed.
Isabel: No, no, no, no there must be some mistake everything’s under control here.
Cyril: Get away from me, you oik from Hell!
Isabel: That’s Cyril. He’s not mine. He's their cousin.
Norman: Come back here, you parasitic poshie!
Isabel: And that's Norman. He is mine. They've just met. They're getting to know each other...through play.
Vincent: Kill the townies and eat their heads!
Isabel: It's the war. Not a very good influence.
Nanny McPhee: Indeed. May I come in?
Isabel: Must you? I mean, yes of course you must. Tea?
Nanny McPhee: Perhaps later. Let me introduce myself to the children.
Isabel: No wait!
Nanny McPhee: Why don’t you put the kettle on? I shan't be a moment.

View Quote Nanny McPhee: In the absence of any spare beds, Norman, I presume, will be sharing with Cyril?
Norman: [scoffs] I'd rather share with a goat.
Cyril: A goat wouldn't have you, and neither will I.
Nanny McPhee: I see. Celia, Megsie, would you be willing to share the bed?
Celia: I'm not sharing anything with that vicious harpy!
Megsie: I'd rather share with Geraldine!
Vincent: She’s our cow. And I'd rather share with...an elephant!
Nanny McPhee: Thank you, Vincent, but you will not be required to share.
Vincent: Haha! I don't have to share! I don’t have to share!
