Quotes

Petruchio : [looking at Tim] Tell me, sweet Kate, and tell me truly too, hast thou beheld a fresher gentlewoman?
Kate : Oh, stop it.
Petruchio : Such war of white and red within her cheeks! What stars do spangle heaven with such beauty, as those two eyes become that heavenly face? Young budding virgin...
Kate : Yes, a fairer-looking chicken I never saw.
Tim Agnew : I'm not gay!
Petruchio : You keep telling yourself that, kid.
-
Kate : If I turned up pissed, let alone dressed like a monkey's arse, you would have seen the funny side, would you?
-
[Lying in bed with Kate, on the MORNING after the first night of their honeymoon]
Petruchio : How brightly shines the moon!
[a cockerel sounds in the background]
Kate : That's the sun, you pillock.
Petruchio : Oh... is it?
[blinks the sleep from his eyes]
Petruchio : Well...
[pause]
Petruchio : You shouldn't contradict me.
Kate : You shouldn't talk bollocks.

[first lines]
Kate : Fathead!
[she slaps him]
Tim Agnew : You hit me!
Kate : You gave me that information. You made me look like a political pygmy, on Newsnight. Your job, in case you weren't concentrating, is to make sure I know what I'm pigging well talking about!
Tim Agnew : You're out of order, Katherine. I'm sorry, but good grief!
Kate : And you're sacked! No wonder this party has been the opposition for the last ten million light years!
Tim Agnew : You can't sack me, and, frankly, I'd appreciate an apology. Otherwise...
Kate : Otherwise?
Tim Agnew : If we're to mantain a mature, grown-up working relationship, then...
Kate : Oh...
[she gives him an insulting gesture]
Kate : Swivel!

[Petruchio "finds" Kate's suitcase]
Kate : He's gonna throw it all in the swimming pool, isn't he? He's going to taunt me with a week's worth of clean knickers and then toss it all into the pool.
Harry : I would imagine that's... yeah.
Petruchio : Now all you have to do, Kate, is be nice to me, unreservedly and without sarcasm, and you have less than ten seconds to do it.
[swinging the suitcase]
Petruchio : Nine... eight... seven... six... five... four... three... two... one... and a half... one...
[He tosses the suitcase into the swimming pool. She goes over to him]
Kate : I don't wear knickers anyway. Not when I'm on holiday.
[She kisses him, then turns and walks into the villa]

Mrs. Minola : Katherine! Bianca's very keen for you to come to her party.
Kate : Why?
Mrs. Minola : She worries about you. So do I.
Kate : And forcing me to live it up with a bunch of overpaid, coke-snorting anorexics is going to make me feel better, is it?
-
[last lines]
Kate : Oh, yes, I forgot to mention: I'm pregnant.
Petruchio : What? That's... that's amazing!
Kate : However, you'll have to look after them.
Petruchio : Yes, fine.
Kate : Because I'm not giving up my career.
Petruchio : No problem, I'll do it!
Kate : I don't believe you. You'll feed them raw chicken, you'll throw them in the pond to see if they float, you'll leave them on a bus somewhere...
Petruchio : Oh, God, I'm going to shag you right here, right now.
Kate : Go on...
Petruchio : ..."Them"?
Kate : There's triplets.
[he laughs and kisses her]

Tim Agnew : And your mother's here. She's on her way up.
Kate : My mother? Who the hell let her in?
Tim Agnew : Security.
Kate : On whose authority?
Tim Agnew : Mine. She's your mother.
Kate : You don't know what my mother looks like. She could be a f... terrorist for all you know.
Tim Agnew : Can I go home?
Kate : Yeah, get lost. Leave me on my own to get blown up.
-
Kate : Oh, go to hell! All of you! And stay there!
