- Violet Crosby: I see your mother's not here yet, Stuart.
- Stuart Bixby: No, not yet...
- Freddie Thornhill: You'll know she's arrived when you hear the gates of Hell creaking open.
- [messages on the answering machine]
- Judi Dench: Hello Freddie, it's Judi Dench. It's so wonderful to hear from you after all these years. Yes, I'd love to come to your party, but you didn't leave me your address, so if you could just ring back with that, that would be fantastic.
- [later on]
- Judi Dench: Hi Freddie, it's Judi Dench. I still haven't heard back from you. I cancelled plans with Daniel Craig for this, so do phone back.
- [later on]
- Judi Dench: It's me again, Judi. It's ten o'clock and I still haven't heard from you. Right after I throw your gift out, I'll be heading to sleep so don't bother ringing me back. I've got an Oscar. I don't need this bullshit!
- Freddie Thornhill: We've had a few minor differences over the years, but I can't imagine my life without him. So when you talk to him, you talk to him with respect!
- Stuart Bixby: [teary-eyed] Oh, Freddie... I don't know what to say...
- Freddie Thornhill: Shut up!
- Stuart Bixby: Did Freddie Thornhill just use the word love?
- Freddie Thornhill: You're so desperate, clinging to every kind word tossed your way. It's very unattractive, Stuart. So why don't you get us some drinks and stop standing there with your mouth gaping open like a cheap Italian fountain!
- Stuart Bixby: Why, it must be so nice to have been in love with somebody for 49 years. Do let me know what that feels like!
- Stuart Bixby: I can't believe it. After all these years, my mother finally accepts me.
- Violet Crosby: Oh, Stuart... She really is a vile woman.
- Stuart Bixby: Dreadful.
- Violet Crosby: Well, I think I'm going to have another drink. Anybody else like one?
- Ash Weston: I think if we're gonna get through this night, we'll each need our own bottle...
