Mary Ansell Barrie Quotes in Finding Neverland (2004)

Mary Ansell Barrie: I'm tired of waiting, James. I'm tired of looking like a fool.

J.M. Barrie: Well I can't very well give up the play.

Mary Ansell Barrie: No. Just... come home to me at the end of the day. No more trips to the country, no more long evenings in the park. If you can't give us that much of a chance... Then we must end this... and I will.

J.M. Barrie: You needn't steal my journal to get to know me, Mary.

Mary Ansell Barrie: No. I suppose I could just go see the plays.

J.M. Barrie: Listen, what would you think of loaning Emma out to the Davies' for the occasional evening? They don't actually have a cook.

Mary Ansell Barrie: I take it Mrs. Davies enjoyed the meal she had here?

J.M. Barrie: I imagine she could use an extra hand now and again, that's all.

Mary Ansell Barrie: Oh, that's very charitable of you. Perhaps we can send over some of the silver as well... and what about linen? I wouldn't be surprised if some of hers was looking a bit shabby.

J.M. Barrie: Please, Mary, stop.

Mary Ansell Barrie: Maybe she can send over some of the things we've run short on. My husband, for example. We rarely see him in this house.

J.M. Barrie: That hasn't seemed to bother you for some time now.

J.M. Barrie: You needn't steal my journal to get to know me, Mary.

Mary Ansell Barrie: No, I suppose I could just go see the plays. I was hopelessly naive when I married you. I imagined that brilliant people disappeared to some secret place where good ideas floated around like leaves in autumn, and I hoped at least once you would take me there with you.

J.M. Barrie: There is no such place.

Mary Ansell Barrie: Yes there is: Neverland.

J.M. Barrie: How are you?

Mary Ansell Barrie: I'm all right. How are you?

J.M. Barrie: I'm sorry.

Mary Ansell Barrie: Don't be.
