Jason Barry: Valentine
Quotes
-
Gryphon : [playing at riddles - if you've got it you can't share it, if you've shared it you haven't got it - with Valentine] What's the answer?
Valentine : It's a secret.
Gryphon : Yes, I know that, but what's the answer?
Valentine : It's a secret!
[points in a different direction]
Valentine : Look! An idiot!
Gryphon : Where?
-
Valentine : Run. Faster. Don't let anything distract you. FOOD.
-
Valentine : We often confuse what we wish for with what is.
-
Valentine : What the hell have you got on your feet? Is that some kind of sick joke? Going around on little rabbit-like animals with every step? That's just... nasty.
-
Valentine : [unable to directly say "I'm sorry"] If I were to say something apologetic it would reflect my feelings in this matter.
-
[repeated line]
Valentine : I am a very important man. I've got a tower.
-
Valentine : That's not my future... NO! I don't want to be a waiter!
-
Valentine : What did you say your name was?
Helena : Helena.
Valentine : Helena. Helen. Helen-nun-nuh... it's a bit drab, isn't it? You know, you should think about changing that. Go for something with a bit of dignity and style, mixed with a bit of romance. Something like... 'Valentine'.
Helena : Why? What's your name?
Valentine : Valentine.
-
Valentine : The answer to my riddle's still a secret.
-
Valentine : This place is ready to collapse into a heap of rubble. It can't be safe.
Helena : You're such a coward. It's perfectly- WAAAAHH!
[she falls through a hole in the floor]
Valentine : [looking down the hole] Coward, eh? I prefer to think of myself as... Prudent. Cautious. And unlike some people I could mention, STILL UP HERE!
