Aunt Quotes in The Kingdom (2007)

[last lines]

Adam Leavitt: Fleury. Tell me what you whispered to Janet, in the briefing, to get her to stop crying about Fran, you know, before all this, before we even got airborne. What'd you say to her?

Aunt: Tell me, what did your grandfather whisper in your ear before he died?

Adam Leavitt: You remember?

Ronald Fleury: I told her we were gonna kill 'em all.

15-Year-Old Grandson: Don't fear them, my child. We are going to kill them all.

Agnès Villermosa: [On the phone] What? In the museum? I'll come at once.

[Quickly leaves]

Aunt: You didn't eat your perch!

Maid: You didn't eat your perch!

[repeated line]

Aunt: Stuff and nonsense!

Aunt: [Reading to young Duane and Belial] Art thou afraid? No monster, not I. Be not afraid, for the isle is full of sights, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will humm about mine ears. And sometimes voices, that if I then had waked after long sleep would let me sleep again. And then in dreaming, the clouds we thought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me, that when I waked, I cried to dream again...

Aunt: If and when I die, I want to see you cry. I want to see you tear your hair, your howls of anguish fill the air. I want to see you beat your breast and rent your clothes and all the rest. And, sobbing, fall upon my bed I want to know that I am dead.

Aunt: I want my death to be just like my life. I want the mess, the struggle, and the strife.

Aunt: [thinking] Communism died, but what came in its place? A load of greed. A life spent longing for things you don't need!

Aunt: When a farmer buys silk robes and washes his whole body every day, there's a woman. That's sure !

Uncle: But a rich man may have two wives but the wife must cling to her husband. That is as it should be.

Aunt: That's right. A woman is allowed but one mistake.

Uncle: Of course. Now then, it is said: you may see a teapot with four teacups, but did you ever see a teacup with four teapots ?

Aunt: It is also said: do you ever see two spoons in the same bowl that do not knock against each other ?
