Memorable quotes  from the Four Weddings and a Funeral

Charles: Any idea who the girl in the black hat is?
Fiona: The name’s Carrie.
Charles: Pretty.
Fiona: American.
Charles: Interesting.
Fiona: Slut.
Charles: Really?
Fiona: Used to work at Vogue. Lives in America now. Only gets out with very glamorous people. Quite out of your league.
Charles: Well, that’s a relief. Thanks.

Charles: Perhaps we should’ve got married.
Henrietta: No! I’d have had to marry your friends, and I’m not sure I could take Fiona.
Charles: Fiona loves you.
Henrietta: Fiona calls me Duckface.
Charles: Well, I never heard that.

Old man: How do you do, my name is Charles.
Old man: Don’t be ridiculous, Charles died 20 years ago!
Charles: Must be a different Charles, I think.
Old man: Are you telling me I don’t know my own brother!
Charles: No, no.

Charles: Do you think there really are people who can just go up and say, “Hi, babe. Name’s Charles. This is your lucky night?”
Matthew: Well, if there are, they’re not English.

Young Bridesmaid: What’s bonking?
Scarlett: Well, it’s kinda like table tennis, only with slightly smaller balls.

Tom: The great advantage of having a reputation for being stupid: People are less suspicious of you.

Father Gerald: In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spigot. Spirit!

Father Gerald: In the name of the father, the son and the holy goat. Eh… *ghost*.

Matthew: I remember the first time I saw Gareth on a dancefloor. I feared lives would be lost.

Carrie: Our timing has been very bad.
Charles: Yes it has been. Very bad.
Carrie: It’s been a disaster.
Charles: It has been, as you say, very bad indeed.

Charles: We were buying her a wedding dress.
David: Pathetic excuse. Who’s she marrying?
Charles: Some total penis.
David: What is it about penises that they get such great wives?
