精彩對白

Carol: You should have seen us, Pa.

Margaret: Have you been trying to make breakfast? For Goodness sake, Denis!

Denis: I can boil a bloody egg.

Carol：Mummy took me for a test drive - We went absolutely everywhere. All over the place -

Margaret: I've decided. I'm going to run.

Denis: What for?

Margaret: I'm going to run for Leader of the Party.

Carol: Silly me!

Denis: Good luck!

Carol: All the time I thought I was having a driving lesson, it was all about my mother, just for a change!

Margaret: What's she on about?

Denis: It's her driving test this morning!

Margaret: Oh, right. Of course.

Denis: Are you saying you want to be Prime Minister?

Margaret: What I'm saying is that someone must force the point, say the unsayable. None of these men have the guts.

Denis: The Prime Minister has been very loyal to you, MT.

Margaret: But he's weak, and he's weakened the party. One must know when to go. You're shaking. Let...

Denis: I can do it!

Margaret: Goodness me! What is the matter with everyone this morning?

Denis: I've told you what the matter is. The business is a bit rocky at the moment and the Doctor thinks I need a rest.

Margaret: And do you need a rest? We both know... that it's highly unlikely that I would ever be elected leader, But I will run. I will run. Just to nip at their heels and make... them reaffirm the principles on which the Conservative Party must stand. There's so much to do.

Denis: You're insufferable, Margaret, do you know that?

Margaret: Denis, you married someone who is committed to public service, you knew that. And it is my duty...

Denis: Don't call it duty. It's ambition which has got you this far. Ambition. And the rest of us, me, the children, we can all go to hell! Don't worry about me, I'll be fine!

Margaret: Where did you go?

Denis: South Africa.

Margaret: Yes. Yes.

Denis: How many days passed before you realized I was gone? Probably had to ask the cleaning woman where I was.

Margaret: When did I lose track of everyone?

Denis: Too busy climbing the greasy pole MT.

TV: Mrs Thatcher I understand you recently visited the United States of America.
