Love Actually quotes

Page 1 of 6
Juliet

We've never got friendly. I just wanted to say I hope that can change. I'm nice, I really am, apart from my terrible taste in pie. And it would be great if we could be friends.

Karl

Life is full of interruptions and complications.

Mia

I'll just be hanging round the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed.

The President of the U.S.

I'll give you anything you ask for - as long as it's not something I don't want to give.

Annie

Right, I'll just go get my things, and then let's fix the country, shall we?

Yeah, I can't see why not.

[about his new song]

This is shit, isn't it?

Joe
[gleefully]

Yep, solid gold shit, maestro.

I realized that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love.

Joe

Right.

And I realized that as dire chance and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid 50s, and without knowing it I've gone and spent most of my adult life with a chubby employee. And much as it grieves me to say it, it might be that the people I love is, in fact... you.

Joe
[pause]

Well, this is a surprise.

Yeah...

Joe

Ten minutes at Elton John's and you're as gay as a maypole.

[after insulting the food]

And what do you do Nancy?

Nancy the caterer

I'm a cook.

Ever do weddings?

Nancy the caterer

Yes I do.

They should have asked you to do this one.

Nancy the caterer

They did.

God, I wish you hadn't turned it down.

Nancy the caterer

I didn't.

[knocks on Sam's door]

Sam, time for dinner.

Sam

I'm not hungry.

Sam... I've done chicken kebabs!

Sam

Didn't you see the sign on the door?

[He starts practising his drums; Daniel leans back and sees the sign, which says, "I SAID - I'M NOT HUNGRY"]

Okay...

And I'm afraid there's something really wrong, you know. I mean, clearly it's about his mum, but Christ, he might be injecting heroin into his eyeballs for all I know.

At the age of eleven?

Maybe not his eyeballs, then. Maybe just his veins.

So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum or is it something else? Maybe... school - are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?

Sam

You really want to know?

I really want to know.

Sam

Even though you won't be able to do anything to help?

Even if that's the case, yeah.

Sam

OK. The truth is actually... I'm in love.

Sorry?

Sam

I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Aren't you a bit young to be in love?

Sam

No.

Oh, OK, right. Well, I'm a little relieved.

Sam

Why?

Well, you know - I thought it might be something worse.

Sam
[incredulous]

Worse than the total agony of being in love?

Oh. No, you're right. Yeah, total agony.
...

Option One: ask her out.

Sam

Impossible.

Fair enough. Option Two: become her friend.

Sam

She's the most popular girl in school and she hates boys.

Okay. Option Three: kidnap her and keep her tied up in your room until she agrees to marry you.

Sam

It's a route I've considered.

And quite rightly rejected on the grounds of...

Sam

Hygiene.
...

All right, we can definitely crack this. I was a kid once too, remember. Now, it's someone at school?

Sam

Yes.

Good, good. And how does she... or he... feel about you?

Sam

She doesn't even know my name. And even if she did, she'd despise me. She's the coolest girl in school and everyone worships her because she's heaven.

Hmmm...

[sits on the couch next to Sam]

Well... [grins] Basically, you're ****, aren't you?

You know, Sammy, I'm sure she's unique and extraordinary, but... the general wisdom is that, in the end, there isn't just one person for each of us.

Sam
[referring to the Titanic film]

There was for Kate and Leo. There was for you. There is for me.

Sam
[Holds up one finger]

She's "the one".

Fair enough.

Dec

Billy, I believe you've brought a prize for our competition winners.

Yes I have, Ant or Dec. It's a personalized felt tip pen.
