Quotes
-
Petruchio : [looking at Tim] Tell me, sweet Kate, and tell me truly too, hast thou beheld a fresher gentlewoman?
Kate : Oh, stop it.
Petruchio : Such war of white and red within her cheeks! What stars do spangle heaven with such beauty, as those two eyes become that heavenly face? Young budding virgin...
Kate : Yes, a fairer-looking chicken I never saw.
Tim Agnew : I'm not gay!
Petruchio : You keep telling yourself that, kid.

[first lines]
Kate : Fathead!
[she slaps him]
Tim Agnew : You hit me!
Kate : You gave me that information. You made me look like a political pygmy, on Newsnight. Your job, in case you weren't concentrating, is to make sure I know what I'm pigging well talking about!
Tim Agnew : You're out of order, Katherine. I'm sorry, but good grief!
Kate : And you're sacked! No wonder this party has been the opposition for the last ten million light years!
Tim Agnew : You can't sack me, and, frankly, I'd appreciate an apology. Otherwise...
Kate : Otherwise?
Tim Agnew : If we're to mantain a mature, grown-up working relationship, then...
Kate : Oh...
[she gives him an insulting gesture]
Kate : Swivel!

Tim Agnew : [to Kate] Paul Fox rang to say, yes, he is happy to be put forward for the tax law rewrite joint committee, but in future, could you not use the f-word on his answering machine at home, because he's got a very smart four-year-old? Keith Aspinall's office rang, to say that he's not a trumped-up, loudmouthed, illiterate Northern git, and if you call him that again, in private or otherwise, he'll sue you.

Tim Agnew : And your mother's here. She's on her way up.
Kate : My mother? Who the hell let her in?
Tim Agnew : Security.
Kate : On whose authority?
Tim Agnew : Mine. She's your mother.
Kate : You don't know what my mother looks like. She could be a f... terrorist for all you know.
Tim Agnew : Can I go home?
Kate : Yeah, get lost. Leave me on my own to get blown up.
