Quotes

Peregrine Devlin : Hello, Edwina. I thought it was you.
Edwina Lionheart : Well, the brilliant Peregrine Devlin. Wielder of the brutal aphorism, master of the killing phrase, my father's murderer.
Peregrine Devlin : That's a bit melodramatic, isn't it?
Edwina Lionheart : Forgive me. I forgot. It was your reverence and admiration that drove him to take his own life.
-
Peregrine Devlin : You don't understand.
Edwina Lionheart : I understand that the greatest actor of all time never earned your approval for one single performance. Never. Not one good review.
-
Peregrine Devlin : Look, Edwina, your father's body was never found.
Edwina Lionheart : My father is as good as under that granite!
-
Edwina Lionheart : I'm busy, Devlin.
Peregrine Devlin : Edwina, four of my collegues have been murdered. And their deaths relate directly to your father's last season.
Edwina Lionheart : If you were as imaginative in your reviews, Devlin, you'd be a better critic.

Edwina Lionheart : You drunken bum! You should treasure this opportunity to listen to a master, the world's greatest living actor!

Edwina Lionheart : It's all right, sir. You're among friends, sir.
Hector Snipe : Thank you. I was beginning to get a bit nervous.
Edward Lionheart : We were just rehearsing Troilus and Cressida. Specifically the scene where Hector, thinking he's among friends, is unexpectedly killed by them.
Hector Snipe : Lionheart, I came here for an interview, not a lecture on Shakespeare. Now tell me the amazing story of your resurrection.
Edward Lionheart : It's a grave tale, Snipe. But I think you can rise to the occasion.
[Snipe is catapulted onto the stage, where the tramps begin to attack him]

Peregrine Devlin : Think about your daughter! Imagine what your madness is doing to her!
Edward Lionheart : My daughter? Edwina?
[the hippie removes his beard and glasses to reveal he is Edwina]
Edwina Lionheart : You have begot me, bred me, loved me: I return those duties back as are right fit. Obey you, love you, and most honour you.
