What?
An impossibly large bird falling off that wall.
Are you hallucinating?
[Waves her hand in front of her face]

What a Girl Wants quotes
Page 1 of 3Oh, very you, lovely. So Henry asked us to give you a few pointers, didn't he? Well, pointer number 1: go home. Mother and I belong here and it's quite clear you just don't fit in. And pointer number 2: while you're packing, keep your grimy little Yankee paws off Armistead Stuart, he's mine.
If you take your nose out of the air for one second you'll see you're designer, I'm vintage. You've got a mansion, I've got a five floor walkup. You're a snotty little miss cranky pants and I go with the flow, so why would you ever think for one second that I'd ever have the same taste in guys? So here's a little pointer for you. Get over yourself and stop trying to be my daddy's little girl because I'm not going anywhere
Hey! What are you doing here?
You know, just another one of my glamorous jobs.
Oh!
[takes a bite of her eggs]
These eggs are positively glacial. When I run this house, senile servants will be the first thing to go.
You'd have to get around the old bat somehow. She'd never allow it.
[walking in]
Anyone seen my pruning shears? The old bat seems to have forgotten where she put them.
Darling, darling, all I'm saying is before we let this hypothetical daughter blow your political career out of the water, we might at least consider doing some checking up on her
Now, checking up for what?
I don't know... criminal record, blood type, triple sixes on her scalp
Glynnis, she has a birth certificate, she has my photograph and she has my eyes.
I'll put a cork in it, Clarissa.
Maybe someone should have put a cork in it seventeen years ago.
Now Daphne, we don't want to make a scene now, do we?
Libby Take your hand off my daughter or you won't get a scene, you'll get a Broadway Musical!
For me, it's just a stop on the campaign trail, and for Glynnis it's a chance to launch Clarissa on society.
Launch her? You make her sound like a ship.
No, in Clarissa's case it's more like an intercontinental ballistic missile
I think I owe you a rather large apology.
Libby Do you think I've waited 17 years for an apology?
I'm not explaining this very well, am I?
No, not really. But I'm having fun watching you try.
So are you and Daphne...
Eloping together. Yeah. I realize it's a bit sudden but after last night, there was really no turning back.
You are joking aren't you?
Ian" Yes, of course.
You like co-co pops?
Dude, its chocolate. Need I say more?
Alistair [Henry has announced that he is withdrawing from the election.] [To Henry]
Are you out of your mind? I have done everything in my power to get you to this position, and I will not let you throw it all away!
Alistair, you've lied to me, I know you lied to Libby, so forgive me if I don't give a flying fart in space what you think.
Alistair Libby?! I stopped you from ruining your life! I saved your family's reputation! When I found out that that girl was pregnant, I knew I was doing the right thing.
Alistair Of course I knew. It's my job to know.
[Consumed by far more rage than before, Henry punches Alistair in the jaw.] [To her grandfather] [Horrified]
Grandpa! Are you okay? This is horrible.
Alistair [To his granddaughter] [Angrily]
Do shut up!
[Stops Henry before he can leave] [To Henry]
Henry, darling! Henry! I know Daddy's been naughty, but what about me?
[Coldly]
You'll survive.
[Glynnis becomes heartbroken and devastated. Henry makes his way outside.]
(Joking)
Eloping together. Yeah. I realize it's a bit sudden but after last night, there was really no turning back.
