Quotes

The Twentieth Century

Edit
  • Dr. Milton Wakefield: [pulls boot from King's grasp] Mr. King, you intend to fornicate with this garment?
  • Mackenzie King: No, I don't.
  • Dr. Milton Wakefield: Look me in the eye.
  • Mackenzie King: There's been a shortage of ladies' footwear at the Daughters of the Empire's temperance league, and I was asked...
  • Dr. Milton Wakefield: [slaps King with boot] You're a disgusting backslider.
  • Mackenzie King: I sacrificed my most cherished beliefs, I don't deserve another chance. I should be punished.
  • Nurse Lapointe: Monsieur King, this isn't about you, it's about humanity. You don't realize it yet but you are a puppet in a terrible game to destroy the future. I know there is goodness inside you, so take all the goodness, by both hands, and follow me.
  • [repeated line]
  • Mackenzie King: Mother, give me strength. Make me equal to this moment.
  • Mackenzie King: I am worth more than the sum of my mistakes.
  • Mackenzie King: Go ahead and waste yourselves. Not a single drop of intoxicating liquors has ever passed my lips.
  • Arthur Meighen: What about "upstanding manhood"? Has that ever passed through your lips?
  • Mr. Justice Richardson: Do more than is your duty,
  • Dominion School of Nationhood pupils: Expect less than is your right.
  • Mackenzie King: Miss Elliot, what if I told you by new winter's day, I will be Prime Minister of Canada?
  • Ruby Eliott: I should think it to be most arrogant.
  • Mackenzie King: Well, there could be no question of my victory. My mother has been grooming me for leadership since birth.
  • Ruby Eliott: Well then, I suppose I need not wish you any luck.
  • Lord Muto: Please, Mister King. Give the people hope, and there will be endless disappointment. But fill them with nightmares, and they will follow you straight into hell.
  • Mackenzie King: Well, I happen to believe that politics is about building a better world.
  • Lord Muto: A better world?
  • [laughs incredulously]
  • Lord Muto: There is no better world, Mr. King.
  • Winnipeg Street Urchin: Hey mister, welcome to Winnipeg. You want some heroin? Bare naked ladies? Reasonably priced furniture?
  • Mackenzie King: I want nothing from you!
  • Winnipeg Street Urchin: Well, fuck you then!
  • Smoking Street Child: Yeah, fuck you.
  • Winnipeg Street Urchin: And your nice fucking shoes.
  • Smoking Street Child: Fucking asshole.
  • Winnipeg Street Urchin: [to child] Fuck you, too!
  • Lady Violet: Canada is just one failed orgasm after another. Look at all these normals, they're so clueless.
  • Mackenzie King: Well, I happen to think it is sacred, Lady Violet. I was born to serve this nation.
  • Lady Violet: I thought you were born for boot sucking. Would you like to try on Ruby's underwear? I could get that for you.
  • Mackenzie King: Please, your excellency, I am begging you.
  • Lady Violet: I like it when you beg.
  • Dr. Milton Wakefield: The vivified froth of man must be controlled and contained. With every nihilistic discharge, you release more lonesomeness to this nation's psyche. If not swiftly blighted, this solitary fornication shall bankrupt the prismatic economy, giving rise to a defective race of kneeling, sniveling, hesitating, slump-shouldered, feeble-minded weaklings.
