Little Dorrit (TV Mini Series)

Episode #1.9 (2008)

Tom Courtenay: Mr. Dorrit

Quotes 

• Mr. Dorrit : Mrs General and I have been in conversation about you, and we agree that you scarcely feel at home here in Venice. How is this?

  Amy Dorrit : I think I need a little time. Father.

  Mrs. General : [sighing]  "Papa" is a preferable form of address. "Father" is rather vulgar. Besides, the word "papa" gives a pretty form to the lips. "Papa", "potatoes", "poultry", "prunes" and "prism" are all very good words for the lips - especially "prunes" and "prism".
