Tied for 2nd most-quoted character in The Queen (2006): in 8 of its 29 quotes
Most scenes with: HM Queen Elizabeth II (4), Cherie Blair (2)
That woman has given her whole life in service to her people. Fifty years doing a job SHE never wanted! A job she watched kill her father. She's executed it with honor, dignity, and, as far as I can tell, without a single blemish, and now we're all baying for her blood! All because she's struggling to lead the world in mourning for someone who... who threw everything she offered back in her face. And who, for the last few years, seemed committed 24/7 to destroying everything she holds most dear!

Prime Minister.
Tony Blair Good morning, Majesty. Sorry to disturb, but I was just wondering whether you'd seen any of today's papers?
We've managed to look at one or two, yes.
Tony Blair In which case my... next question would be whether you felt some kind of response... [Queen Elizabeth puts Blair on speakerphone] ...might be necessary?
No. I believe a few over-eager editors are doing their best to sell newspapers. It would be a mistake to dance to their tune.
Have we shown you how to start a nuclear war yet?
Tony Blair Er no.
First thing we do apparently, then we take away your passport and spend the rest of our time sending you around the world.
Tony Blair You obviously know my job better than I do.
Yes well, you are my tenth Prime Minister Mr Blair. My first of course was Winston Churchill, he sat in your chair in a frock coat and top hat. And he was kind enough to give a shy young girl like me quite an education.
Tony Blair I would imagine.
Tony Blair I know, what was all that about?
God knows, Diana, whatever it is it'll be something to do with Diana.
Alastair Campbell You going to speak to the Queen?
Tony Blair Yep.
Alastair Campbell Ask her if SHE greased the brakes.
Tony Blair Now, now.
[Cherie has just offered a 'shallow' curtsy. The Queen looks at her and smiles]
Mrs Blair, lovely to see you, and congratulations.
[the Queen shakes Cherie's hand]
You must be very proud, and exhausted I imagine. Where will you be spending the summer?
Erm, France.
HM Queen Elizabeth II Oh, lovely.
Tony Blair You'll be in Balmoral?
Yes, yes, I can't wait. It's such a wonderful place. My great great grandmother Victoria once said 'Balmoral always seems to breath peace and make one forget the world and its sad turmoils.
Robin Janvrin [Robin Janvrin comes into room]
Your Majesty?
Oh, excuse me.
[Robin whispers something inaudible into the Queen's ear] [to Tony and Cherie]
I'm so sorry, we're going to have to leave it there.
[she shakes both their hands and they exit without showing their backs] [to Robin]
It wasn't too short was it? Fifteen minutes, one doesn't want to be rude.
Robin Janvrin No ma'am.
[last lines]
HM Queen Elizabeth II So tell me, Mr. Blair, what might we expect from your first parliament?
Tony Blair Well, ma'am, top of the list is education reform. We want to radically reduce classroom sizes.
Oh, yes. Yes, we must.
Tony Blair Create a much lower teacher-pupil ratio.
Yes, it will be difficult to achieve...
[trailing off, inaudible]
