Grace quotes from Peaky Blinders

Thomas

You have something to say to me?

Grace

The other night you cam into the pub when I was singing. You said singing wasn't allowed. I'd like there to be one night a week when there is singing. I think it would be good for everyone. Saturday nights. Harry was too afraid to ask you, so...

Thomas

But you're not?

Grace

I am. But I love to sing.

Grace

How's your beautiful horse?

Thomas

I just put a bullet in his head.

Grace

Was he lame?

Thomas

He looked at me the wrong way. It's not a good idea to look at Tommy Shelby the wrong way.

Grace

What a waste.

Thomas

Yeah. A waste is what it is. You know, in France... In France, I got used to seeing men die. Never got used to seeing horses die. They die badly.

Grace

And what must I do?

Thomas

For two pounds, you'll do what I ask you to do.

Grace

I want three. [Tommy scoffs] If I'm meeting a king, I won't be wearing a cheap dress. And I ask you to let me sing. That's part of the deal now too.

Thomas

Since when?

Grace

Since you nearly smiled.

Grace

[Thomas asks her to sing] Happy or sad?

Thomas

[after a moment thinking] Sad.

Grace

Okay. But I warn you, it'll break your heart.

Thomas

Already broken.

Grace

Want tea?

Thomas

Tea? No.

Grace

I have rum.

Thomas

Actually, tea it is.

Grace

You want to impress me?

Thomas

Yes. And do you have a biscuit?

Grace

No. They attract mice.

Thomas

People look different at home.

Grace

In what way?

Thomas

Off guard.

Grace

Should I be on my guard?

Thomas

No, I'm a man who drinks tea.

Grace

Are you okay?

Thomas

I don't hear the shovels against the wall.

Grace

What shovels?

Thomas

Will you help me?

Grace

Help you with what?

Thomas

With everything. The whole fucking thing. Fucking life, business. I found you. And you found me. We'll help each other.

Did you fall for Tommy?

Grace

Yes.

Then I pity you.

Grace

I think he'll try to kill me.

He's too soft.

Grace

Soft?

Soft, like you. You saved his life the night the coppers came. That's why we're drinking, not fighting. We owe you.

Grace

What was he like, before France?

He laughed, a lot. He wanted to work with horses.
