The Favourite (2018) quotes
Director
Yorgos Lanthimos.
In early 18th century England, a frail Queen Anne occupies the throne and her close friend, Lady Sarah, governs the country in her stead. When a new servant, Abigail, arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah.
Some wounds do not close; I have many such.
– Queen Anne
My dear friend and cousin, how good to see you’ve returned from…
– Abigail
Hell. I’m sure you shall pass through it one day.
– Lady Sarah
You look like a badger.
– Lady Sarah
Your mascara is running. If you want to fix yourself we can discuss this later.
– Lady Sarah
They were all staring, weren’t they? I can tell even if I can’t see. And I heard the word fat! Fat and ugly!
– Queen Anne
Anne, no one but me would dare and I did not.
– Lady Sarah
Rub my legs.
– Queen Anne
Obviously you have chosen to keep the particulars of your dismissal from me. I shall leave a gap in the conversation for you to remedy that.
– Godolphin
I do not know of women and their feelings, but I know they nurse their hurts like wailing newborns.
– Godolphin
Godolphin, I have a surge of desire to see your nose broken. Your point?
– Lady Sarah
I like when she puts her tongue in me.
– Queen Anne
Sometimes a lady likes to have some fun.
– Lady Sarah
Mrs Meg, your cream bill is outrageous. Are you bathing in it to help your hemorrhoids?
– Lady Sarah
There are limits to what one can give.
– Lady Sarah
As it turns out, I’m capable of much unpleasantness.
– Abigail
Oh it is fun to be queen sometimes!
– Queen Anne
Let’s shoot something!
– Lady Sarah
You’re so beautiful.
– Abigail
Stop it, you mock me
– Queen Anne
I do not. If I were a man, I would ravish you!
– Abigail
I wish to make a statement to the queen.
– Harley
State it to me. I love a comedy. Is there cake?
– Lady Sarah
