Film Quotes by Margaret Lockwood

Harlan Chambers: I'd like you to be there when I went home for the holidays.
Vicky Standing: Well, Harlan, I may have other plans. I might decide to become a pioneer woman at that. Don't you think I could, Inspector Montague?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: Do what?
Vicky Standing: Don't you think I could become a pioneer woman?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: I'm sure you could, if you put your mind to it.
Vicky Standing: Well, Harlan, that's one vote for me.

Clarissa Marr: [Introducing herself to Heter] I'm Clarissa.
[Offerin her a piece of candy]
Clarissa Marr: Would you have a sugar vixen?
Hesther Shaw: No, thank you. I don't care for sugary things.

Hesther Shaw: [to Peter] All of us women are very much the same, you know.
[Gesturing toward a statue]
Hesther Shaw: None of us should be put on pedestals.

Iris Henderson: I've no regrets. I've been everywhere and done everything. I've eaten caviar at Cannes, sausage rolls at the dogs. I've played baccarat at Biarritz and darts with the rural dean. What is there left for me but marriage?

Iris: Boris? Miss Henderson speaking. Look, someone upstairs is playing musical chairs with an elephant. Move one of them out, will you? I want to get some sleep.

Jassy: Goodbye Barney. I wish I were a house.

Vicky Standing: Dad didn't think I should come, even for a visit.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: You must find it rather rugged.
Vicky Standing: I've been wondering...
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: What?
Vicky Standing: Well, whatever was it that made a man like you take a job like this?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: There are times when it's rather hum-drum, but right now you're here.
Vicky Standing: And I'm going to change things. Inspector Montague, we're going to give a dance next Wednesday night. A real one. Dress uniform and frills.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: A dance?
Vicky Standing: You do dance, don't you?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague: Well, I - yes, yes, of course.
Vicky Standing: Splendid. Being the only woman in the vicinity, I'm bound to be popular.
