The Winter Guest (1997)

Quotes

The Winter Guest

  • Elspeth: A person needs to be needed and if you don't need me, you could lie.
  • [first lines]
  • Alex: Are you all right?
  • Frances: Don't keep asking.
  • Elspeth: A happy woman doesn't mutilate herself.
  • Frances: Time has come for me to embrace my years, don't you think, Mother? Welcome them, not fight them anymore.
  • Elspeth: Why should you embrace your years? No one else does.
  • Sam: You're like to be packing shelves at Safeway.
  • Tom: No harm in that.
  • Elspeth: Suits me, this. My God, it's bleak! I love it, winter! I like weather - definite weather. When it rains, I like it pelting down. And wind? I like a good blow. Sunshine? Couldn't be doing with it all the time and never a cloud in the sky. Look at this! Look at it! Clean it up and there's nowhere on this Earth that could beat it for beauty.
  • Frances: This is my own body. I can do what I like. I can gain weight if I like, and I can cut my own hair.
  • Elspeth: One life! Thats all! You'll not get the last years back.
  • [last lines]
  • Sam: Tom, wait for me!
