Margaret quotes from The Proposal (2009)

Andrew

Morning, boss. You have a conference call in 30 minutes.

Margaret

Yes. About the marketing of the spring books. I know.

Andrew

Staff meeting at 9:00.

Margaret

Did you call, um ... What's her name? The one with the ugly hands.

Andrew

Janet?

Margaret

Yes, Janet.

Andrew

I did call her and if she doesn't get her manuscript in on time you won't give her a release date. Your immigration lawyer called. He said it's imperative...

Margaret

Cancel the call, push the meeting to tomorrow and keep the lawyer on the sheets. Oh, and get a hold of PR, have them start drafting a press release.　Frank is doing Oprah.

Andrew

Wow. Nicely done.

Margaret

If I want your praise, I will ask for it. Um... Who is, uh, who is Jillian? And why does she want me to call her?

Andrew

Well, that was originally my cup.

Margaret

And I'm drinking your coffee why?

Andrew

Because your coffee spilled.

Margaret

That your family?

Andrew

Yes.

Margaret

They tell you to quit?

Andrew

Every single day.

We can clean this up, re-file, but even when we do, you’ll have to spend one year out of the country.

Margaret

Well, that’s not ideal, I mean, I can work from Toronto, with video conferencing —

Margaret, you don’t understand. If you’re deported, you can’t work for an American company.

Have you told your parents?

Margaret

Impossible. My parents are dead.

Are your parents dead too?

Margaret

No, no. His parents are very much alive.

Have you told them yet?

Margaret

We’re going to their place this weekend. [Andrew stares, disbelieving, at her] …Gammie’s 90th birthday. We thought it’d be a nice surprise.

Uh-huh. And where will that be?

Margaret

At Andrew’s parents’ house.

Oh, and where’s that?

Margaret

Pssh. Why am I doing all the talking? They're your parents, why don't you tell him? Jump in...

Andrew

Sitka.

Margaret

Sitka.

Andrew

Alaska.

Margaret

Alaskaaaa…

Andrew

So, these are the questions that INS is gonna ask us. Now the good news is that I　know everything about you, but the bad news is that you have 4 days to learn all this about me. So you should .. probably get studying.

Margaret

You know all the answers to these questions about me?

Andrew

Scary, isn't it?

Margaret

Hmm... a little bit. What I am allergic to?

Andrew

: Pine nuts. And the full spectrum of human emotion.
Margaret Oh, that's ... that was funny. (chuckles) Umm...here's a good one. Do I　have any scars?

Andrew

I　am pretty sure that you have a tattoo.
Margaret Oh, you're pretty sure?

Andrew

I'm pretty sure. 2 years ago, your dermatologist called and asked about a Q-switched laser. I　of course Googled a Q-switched laser and found that they in fact do to remove tattoos. But you canceled your appointment.So what is it? Tribal ink? Japanese calligraphy? Barbed wire?
Margaret You know, it's exciting for me to experience you like this.

Margaret

Oh my God, what is that?

Andrew

I’m sorry.

Margaret

What is it?

Andrew

It’s… the morning.

Margaret

Wow. Incredible. Maybe a tad loose in certain areas, but otherwise —

Oh, sorry. I’m a bit chesty to begin with, and, I happened to be knocked up when I wore this.

Margaret

Why are you out of breath?

Andrew

Because I’ve been running.

Margaret

From Alaska?

Margaret

Why didn't you tell me you're some kind of an Alaskan Kennedy?

Andrew

We were in the middle of talking about you... for the last 3 years.
