Ben Whishaw movie quotes

View Quote Henry Brown: Yes, hello. Yes, that sounds fine. No-no-no-no-no-no, don't read me the terms and conditions. I really want to action this as soon as possible. No, don't put me hold on again! [slams on door] Paddington, what is going on in there?
Paddington: Uh, nothing. Ah, I'm just having a spot of bother with the facilities.

View Quote Mr. Gruber: [sees Mary] Ah, Mrs. Brown, come in!
Paddington: You must be Mr. Gruber.
Mr. Gruber: And you must be the young gentleman whose hat sounds so fascinating. Welcome. You're just in time for elevenses.

View Quote Millicent: [opens the museum doors] Welcome to your new home, bear. This is a cathedral of knowledge. Every major explorer has added to its glory. [points to 3 of many exhibits in the room] Charles Darwin brought the giant tortoise from the Galapagos.
Paddington: Good evening.
Millicent: Captain Scott, the emperor penguin from Antarctica.
Paddington: Gentlemen.
Millicent: Captain Cook, the kangaroo from Australia.
Paddington: Good day.
Millicent: Each of these men have been immortalized through these finds. But do you see anything from my father? No. Because when he met your oh-so-precious species, he refused to collect a specimen.
[the flashback begins]
Boss Geographer: No specimen?
Montgomery: Gentlemen, gentlemen... I-I-I mean, these were no dumb beasts. I mean, they-they were intelligent and civilized.
Geographer 1: Oh, come off it, Clyde. They didn't even speak English.
Montgomery: Well, no, but...
Geographer 2: Did they play cricket?
Geographer 3: Drink tea?
Geographer 4: Do the crossword?
Geographer 1: Pretty rum idea of civilization you've got, Clyde.
Boss: Tell us their location. We'll send a real explorer to get a specimen.
Montgomery: [pause] Never. [the crowd gasps]
Boss: Very well. You leave me no choice. This expedition shall be struck from the records. [receptionist rips off the records] Montgomery Clyde, I hereby revoke your membership of the hallowed Guild. [rips off his membership necklace] Geographers, turn your backs. [turns his back on Montgomery, followed by his fellow geographers]
Millicent: [during the flashback] We could've been rich and famous, but instead he threw it all away, and he opened a petting zoo. He put the happiness of a few furry creatures above his own flesh and blood. I vowed that one day, I would finish the job my father never could. [the flashback ends] And now, at last, that day has come. [unveils a glass box that reads "Ursus marmaladus", Paddington sees a foreshadowing vision of himself in it] That's right. I'm going to stuff you, bear.
[Paddington gasps and runs away in fear, trying to escape the museum, but Millicent shot him the butt with a tranquilizer]
Paddington: [weakly] Ow...! [he falls down the stairs and falls asleep]

View Quote Dear Aunt Lucy, you sent me to London to find a home. I have a wonderful family. I've really got to grips with how things work.

View Quote Aunt Lucy said: "If we're kind and polite, the world will be right."

View Quote Dear Aunt Lucy, life in London has been better than ever. I really feel at home.

View Quote Don't let them say I killed myself for love. Had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.

View Quote A half-finished book is, after all, a half-finished love affair.

View Quote Sixsmith, I do hope you will be able to find it in your heart to forgive me.

View Quote You don't have to write anything down to be a poet. Some work in gas stations. Some shine shoes. I don't really call myself one because I don't like the word. Me? I'm a trapeze artist. Sighting it and hearing it and breathing it in; rubbing it all in the pores of my skin. And the wind between my eyes, milk and honey in my comb.

View Quote I accept chaos. I don't know whether it accepts me.

View Quote I know I have a sickness festering somewhere. I don't mean like Woody Guthrie, wasting away in some hospital. I couldn't do that, decay like that. That's nature's will, and I'm against nature. I don't dig nature at all. The only truly natural things are dreams, which nature cannot touch with decay.

View Quote James Bond: [on receiving his equipment from Q.] A gun and a radio. It's not exactly Christmas, is it?
Q: Were you expecting an exploding pen? We don't really go in for that anymore.

View Quote [Bond is pursuing an escaped Silva through London's underground train tunnels. Q is tracking him from MI6's reserve headquarters and communicating by radio.]
Q: If you're through that door, you should be in the Tube.
James Bond: [deadpan] I'm in the Tube.
Q: Bond, this isn't an escape, this was years in the planning. He wanted us to capture him, he wanted us to access his computer. It was all planned - blowing up HQ, knowing all the emergency protocols, knowing we'd retreat down here.
James Bond: I got all that. It's what he's got planned next that worries me.
Q: District line is the closest. There should be a service door on your left.
James Bond: Got it. [he tries the door handle] It won't open.
Q: Of course it will, put your back into it.
James Bond: Why don't you come down here and put your back into it?! [he tries again.] No, it's stuck. [a rumble is heard, and Bond looks along the tracks] Oh good. There's a train coming.
Q: Hmm. That's vexing.
[Bond tries to barge the door multiple times but will not open. He uses a pistol to shoot the door handle. The door opens and Bond slips into it.]
James Bond: I'm through.
Q: Told you. We've alerted security. Police are on their way.
[Bond continues to find Silva.]

View Quote [Bond is on a crowded platform at Temple Tube station, looking for Silva.]
James Bond: There's too many people, I can't see him.
Q: Welcome to rush hour on the Tube. Not something you'd know much about.
[Q spots something on one of the CCTV footage monitors - a policeman getting onto the Tube train.]
James Bond: The train's leaving. Do I get on the train?
Q: [hesitant.] Don't get on the train, I'm not sure he's on it. Give us a minute.
[Q enhances the footage he was just watching. The train starts to pull away, Bond still on the platform.]
James Bond: [impatient.] Do I get on the train?
[Q freezes the footage of the policeman turning to face the camera. It is Silva in disguise.]
Q: Bond?
James Bond: What?
Q: Get on the train.
[Bond chases after and jumps onto the end of the tube train, clinging onto the outer door. He runs past an old-looking man who is standing with his wife.]
Man at Tube Station: He's keen to get home.
James Bond: [to train conductor.] Open the door, please!
[The conductor just stares at him, baffled.]
James Bond: Open. The door!
[The conductor finally opens the door. Bond steps on board.]
James Bond: Health and Safety. Carry on.
Q: Where are you?
James Bond: [moving through the carriages.] Take a wild guess, Q.
Q: He's in disguise now. He's dressed as a policeman.
James Bond: [sarcastic.] Of course he is.
Q: [tracking the train's path, muttering.] Where's he going? Where's he going?
[Bond spots the route map on the inside wall of one of the carriages. The route leads to Westminster.]
James Bond: [realising.] He's going for M. Tell Tanner - get her out of there.
