BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY [2001]

All Women Keep Score... 
Only The Great Ones Put It In Writing



It is a truth universally acknowledged that 
when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces
[Bridget]




Resolution #1: Uggg - will obviously lose 20 lbs. 
#2: Always put last night's panties in the laundry basket. 
Equally important: will find nice sensible boyfriend and stop forming romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional fuckwits, or perverts. 
Will especially stop fantasizing about a particular person who embodies all these things. 
[Bridget]



I've been going crazy. 
I can't stop thinking about you, and thinking about what an idiot I've been. 
Christ, is that blue soup? 
[Daniel Cleaver]





[Daniel Cleaver]: First, have some more wine, and then tell me the story about practicing French kissing with the art girls at school, because it's a very good story. 
[Bridget]: It wasn't French kissing. 
[Daniel Cleaver]: Don't care, make it up. That's an order, Jones. 

[Daniel Cleaver]: Come on Bridget, we belong together - you, me, poor little skirt. 
If I can't make it with you then I can't make it with anyone. 
[Bridget]: That's not a good enough offer for me. 





[Mark Darcy]: All right Cleaver, outside.
[Daniel Cleaver, half laughing]: I'm sorry? Outside? 
Should I bring my dueling pistols or my sword?



[Mark Darcy]: I like you, very much.
[Bridget]: Ah, apart from the smoking and the drinking, the vulgar mother and... ah, the verbal diarrhea.
[Mark Darcy]: No, I like you very much. Just as you are. 

[Bridget]: I owe you an apology about Daniel. 
He said you ran off with his fiancée and left him brokenhearted.
[Mark Darcy]: No, it was the other way around. My wife. My heart.

[Bridget]: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. 
Well, I meant it, but I was so stupid that I didn't mean what I meant... 
After all, it's only a diary. 
Everyone knows diaries are just... full of crap.
[Mark Darcy]: Yes, I know that. I was just buying you a new one.



[Mark Darcy]: Bridget!
[Bridget]: Mark... What are you doing here? 
[Mark Darcy]: I was just wondering if you were available for Bar Mitzvahs and Christenings in addition to Ruby Weddings.
[Bridget]: I thought you were in America. 
[Mark Darcy]: Well I was... but I realized I had forgotten something here. 
[Bridget]: Which was...? 
[Mark Darcy]: Well, I realized that I had forgotten to... kiss you goodbye, do you mind? 
[Bridget]: Umm... not really, no. So... does this mean you're 'not' going to America? 
[Mark Darcy]: No... not. 
[Bridget]: Does this mean you're staying here? 
[Mark Darcy]: It would seem so...
