Mrs. Beaumont Quotes in Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

[at second wedding]

Mrs. Beaumont: Are you married?

Fiona: No.

Mrs. Beaumont: Are you a lesbian?

Fiona: Good lord! What makes you ask that?

Mrs. Beaumont: Well, it is one of the possibilites for unmarried girls nowadays, and it's rather more interesting than saying, "Oh dear, never met the right chap," eh?

Fiona: Quite right. Why be dull?

Mrs. Beaumont: Thank you.

[pause]

Fiona: The truth is... well, the truth is, I have met the right person, and he's not in love with me, and until I stop loving him, no one else really has a chance.

Mrs. Beaumont: Oh, what a shame.

Fiona: Yes, isn't it?

[another pause]

Fiona: I was a lesbian once at school, but only for about fifteen minutes.

[Jeffrey comes to the breakfast table with a badly bruised face]

Jeffrey Beaumont: I don't want to talk about it.

Mrs. Beaumont: But...

Jeffrey Beaumont: Everything is okay, I just don't want to talk about it.

Aunt Barbara: But sometimes it's good to talk things over Jeffrey. For instance, they say that many marriages are saved by people...

Jeffrey Beaumont: Aunt Barbara, I love you but you're gonna get it.
