Gods and Monsters (1998)

Lynn Redgrave: Hanna

Quotes 

• James Whale : Who is this new yardman?

  Hannah : Mr. Bugen... something B... I don't know. He came cheap!

• Hannah : Poor Mr. Jimmy. There is much good in him, but he will suffer the fires of hell.

  Clayton Boone : Oh yeah?

  Hannah : That is what the priests tell me. His sins of the flesh will keep him from heaven.

  Clayton Boone : Hell, everybody's got those.

  Hannah : No. His is the worst. The unspeakable. The deed no man can name without shame. What is the good English? All I know is bugger, he's a bugger, men who bugger each other...

  Clayton Boone : A homo?

  Hannah : *Yes*, you *know*...

• Hannah : Oh, men! Always pulling legs. Everything is comedy. Oh, how very amusing. How marvelously droll.

• [Hannah is disturbed by the image of Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster] 

  Hannah : Oh, that monster. How could you be working with him?

  James Whale : Don't be daft. He's a very proper actor... and the dullest fellow imaginable.

• [first lines] 

  Hannah : [whispering]  She was ugly when I brought her. I not like her. Mr. Jimmy not like her. Better you indicate, Mr. David.

  David Lewis : Stop.

  Hannah : Shhh.

• Hannah : Mr. Boone. He is an interesting friend.

  James Whale : I'd hardly call our yardman a friend.

  Hannah : No. But someone you can talk to.

  James Whale : [Whale stops, turns to Hanna]  Do you miss having someone to talk to, Hanna?

  Hannah : I have my family. Also our Lord Jesus Christ.

  James Whale : Of course. How is the old boy these days?

• Hannah : [referring to Clayton while meeting with James]  He looks plenty big. He won't need my help if anything goes flooey.
