Walk Away and I Stumble (2005 TV Movie)

Tamzin Outhwaite: Claire Holmes

Quotes 

• Claire Holmes : I don't think happiness finds you. It passes near to you, and it's up to you to jump on it.

• [discussing possible newspaper headlines after Claire has run out of church on her wedding day] 

  Elaine Spader : So why d'you run away? Why waste all those vol-au-vents?

  Claire Holmes : Cos it's not like I have to wear the dress to complete the set. I don't want to read about myself in the local paper: "Brave Cancer Bride Weds".

  Elaine Spader : Or "Cancer Bride Flees Wedding".

  Claire Holmes : Shit! It *is*, isn't it? "Wedding Proves 'Tomb' Much For Brave Claire"!

  Elaine Spader : "Send Back The Cake - The Wedding's 'Cancered'"!

  [they chuckle] 

• Elaine Spader : You know, in my head, some nights you were like this demon standing over me with these red eyes.

  Claire Holmes : And wings? Like the Meatloaf album.

  Elaine Spader : You have wings if you want. So what are you gonna do?

  Claire Holmes : Die, I suppose. Not so scary now, am I?

  Elaine Spader : You're still scaring me.
