Mark quotes from Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)

Bridget

I'm sorry, I'm not quite fi... [interrupted by seeing Mark]

Mark

Good afternoon.

Bridget

Hi! You like me just the way I am...

Mark

Sorry?

Bridget

Nothing.

Bridget

No Pam. And besides I'm busy, gravy needs seiving.

Mark

Surely not, just stir it Una.

Anyone going to introduce me?

Bridget

Ah, introduce people with thoughtful details. Perpetua, this is Mark Darcy. Mark's a prematurely middle-aged prick with a cruel-raced ex-wife. Perpetua's a fart-ass old bag who spends her time bossing me around... Maybe not.

Anyone going to introduce me?

Bridget

Ah, Perpetua. This is Mark Darcy. Mark's a top barrister. He comes from Grafton Underwood. Perpetua's one of my work colleagues.

Oh, Mark, I know you by reputation of course.

Mark

Ah, Natasha. This is Bridget Jones. Bridget, this is Natasha. Natasha is a top attorney and specializes in family law. Bridget is in advertising and used to play naked in my paddling pool.

Bridget

How's it look?

Mark

Great, it's... blue.

Bridget

Blue?

Mark

No, but blue is... good. If you ask me, there isn't enough blue food.

Bridget

Wait a minute, nice boys don't kiss like that.

Mark

Oh yes, they **** do.

Mark

I don't think you're an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother's pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever's in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences... But the thing is, um, what I'm trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much.

Mark

I don't think you're an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements that are ridiculous about you. Your mother's pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever's in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences. I realize that when I met you at the Turkey Curry Buffet I was unforgiveably rude... and wearing a reindeer jumper... that my mother had given me the day before. But the thing is, uhm, what I'm trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, uhm, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you. Very much.

Bridget

Apart from the smoking and the drinking and the vulgar mother and the verbal diarrhea...

Mark

No, I like you very much. Just as you are.
