Quotes
-
William Killick : No harm will ever come to you. Not from me, not from anyone else. And while I'm here, no word of mine will ever hurt you.
Vera Phillips : Sounds like a vow.
-
Vera Phillips : You don't even see me, do you? Dylan! All you've got is stories in your head. Words. And I have to feel real. William... makes me real.
-
Caitlin MacNamara : Now you'll get fat. And Dylan won't love you anymore.
Vera Phillips : You're a bitch. It's the past Dylan loves. And you. He doesn't love me at all.
Caitlin MacNamara : When's William get back?
Vera Phillips : I keep writing. No word.
Caitlin MacNamara : Think he's dead?
Vera Phillips : We're still getting his pay. The army wouldn't pay a dead man.
Caitlin MacNamara : You'll have to stop singing.
Vera Phillips : I'll sing if I want.
Caitlin MacNamara : They won't let you. Not pregnant they won't.
Vera Phillips : I can't do this. I can't. A mother, me, look at me!
Caitlin MacNamara : Get rid of it then.
Vera Phillips : It's William's.
Caitlin MacNamara : Ah, you love him.
Vera Phillips : I hate him. Oh, God, I hate him so much. Look what he's done to me.
[Caitlin laughs hysterically]
Vera Phillips : Don't laugh. Don't damn well laugh! I can't do this alone.
Caitlin MacNamara : I'm here, aren't I?
Vera Phillips : Let's go home, Caitlin.
Caitlin MacNamara : I don't have a home.
Vera Phillips : Wales, Caitlin!
Caitlin MacNamara : Are you insane, woman?
-
Caitlin MacNamara : My first was Augustus John. He seduced me when I was 15 the old goat. It doesn't mean anything, fucking. It isn't love. I get an itch, it's gotta be scratched. I do it myself when I'm too lazy. Why bother when you can get someone else to do it for you?
Vera Phillips : Nothing to do with love, fucking?
Caitlin MacNamara : Uh-uh. Nothing. Who was your first?
Vera Phillips : [Innocently] What?
Caitlin MacNamara : You don't need to tell me, I know it was Dylan.
Vera Phillips : We were kids. Tent, fire, and a beach blanket.
Caitlin MacNamara : Nice and comfy then.
Vera Phillips : Children, still innocent.
Caitlin MacNamara : We are still innocent, me and Dylan.
Vera Phillips : I only want it as a memory. I don't want it back.
Caitlin MacNamara : Does William know? Don't ever tell him. I can forgive the past, he won't. The past I can forgive.
Vera Phillips : You're warning me.
-
William Killick : What have you got against me, Vera Phillips?
Vera Phillips : You might be dead tomorrow.
-
Vera Phillips : I don't melt at the sight of a uniform, that's all. Sod it. I don't like nosy parkers.
Caitlin MacNamara : It was a civil question. I could have said, "Are you after my husband?" But I didn't.
Vera Phillips : Heartache, that's what I see in a uniform. I'm not gonna love someone just to have them die off on me.
