Brigadoon

1954

Jeff Douglas: Frank, put it on the bill. Bartender: The bill, sir, is very high. Jeff Douglas: So am I!

(In a crowded bar.) Tommy Albright: It's hot in here. Jeff Douglas: It's not the heat, it's the humanity.

Meg Brockie: I'm highly attracted to you. Why, when I look at you I feel wee tadpoles jumping in my spine. Jeff Douglas: That's about as repulsive an idea as I've heard in years!

Jeff Douglas: Can you think of one good reason why I, a strange man, should be interested in proposing to you, a mighty strange woman and at this hour of the day? Meg Brockie: Because you're a lad and I'm a lass! Jeff Douglas: Well, with that philosophy you must have had a provocative career!

Tommy Albright: Why do you have to lose something to find out what it really means?

Andrew Campbell: You'll never find peace by hating, lad. It only shuts ye off more from the world. And this town is only a cursed place, if ye make it so. To the rest of us, 'tis a blessed place!

Mr Lundie: They were indeed horrible destructive women. I dinna suppose you have such women in your country? Tommy Albright: Witches? Jeff Douglas: Oh we have 'em. We pronounce it differently.

Jeff Douglas: ... There's nothing a woman hates more than her fiancee's best friend. He knows all the secrets she's going to spend the rest of her life trying to find out.

Mr Lundie: It's the hardest thing in the world to give everything. Though it's usually the only way to get everything.

Jeff Douglas: You're confused, aren't you boy? If you believed as much as you thought you believed you wouldn't be confused.

(Tommy is concerned about Jeff's drinking) Tommy Albright: You told me you were going to ease up. Jeff Douglas: Yeah I know, but I'm a terrible liar.

Mr Lundie: Anything is possible when you love someone. Even... miracles?

Jeff Douglas: Well, most of my friends who have inferiority complexes are absolutely right. They're *not* as good as everybody else!

Jeff Douglas: If they want to disregard two hundred years of human bing-bang, that's their privilege.

Jeff Douglas: If there's anything I hate... it's you.

Charlie Chisholm Dalrymple: And may God bless me this evening as much as I would bless Him if I were He and He were Charles Dalrymple.
