Charlotte Horniman quotes from The Gentlemen

[links arms with Eddie and walks with him after father's funeral] This estate has been in the family for over 600 years, and Freddy's gonna... the lost by Christmas. We should do something about it, Edward.

Hmm. If Dad left it to you, you'd spend it all rewilding bears in Berkshire.

What's wrong with bears? I like bears. They leave no carbon footprint, and they were here before us.

Yes, and they'll fucking eat you. Anyway, it's irrelevant. The entire estate gets handed down to the firstborn son. Freddy's the heir and I'm the spare.

Maybe we should topple him together.

Hmm. Now there's an idea.

[to Sabrina bird shooting] You've got to at least try and hit one, mother.

Sabrina Horniman

Darling, you know, you've become very bloodthirsty since you left university.

Sorry, can I help you?

[observing vintage vehicle] I don't know. Can you?

Are you lost?

Yes. I think I'm in a dream. This is the most beautiful machine I've ever seen.

[embraces him] Well, then. Let me wake you up from this dream.

[Sabrina and Charly visit Freddy in rehab] Oh, there he is. Little, um, baby Tim. Tim?

Tarquin.

Tarquin.

Yeah.

Fabulous, fabulous name. How's he doing?

[sighs] Ghastly, most of the time.

[chuckles] I'd love to give him a cuddle.

Yeah, of course. Yeah. Just, um, maybe when he wakes up.

Maybe he won't wake up.

Sorry?

Maybe he'll stay asleep, 'cause it's peaceful in here. 'Cause it's... Well, I find it peaceful, anyway. [seated at table with Sabrina and Charly] The good news is, I've... I've come to a realization, which I would like to tell you about. It's a big one. It might come as a little bit of a shock. [awkwardly chuckles] But, um, I have been reborn. Spiritually speaking. [sighs] Family is everything to me. I have been less than the older brother I should have been. I haven't been there for you. All those years, hoovering up lines of cоcɑіnе like a fսcking Henry the Hoover. But I wanna be there for you now. For you and... your newborn son.

Sabrina Horniman

Well, that's just-

Mummy, I failed you and Dad. I... I... I failed in my responsibilities, and, um, I realize that Dad was right to leave everything... everything to Edward. No, he was. He was right. And, um, I'm glad. [chuckles] I'm actually... I'm grateful that he did. Because that all led me here. That being said, I think that I'm ready to come home now. [gasps] If... I mean, if you guys want me to.

Sabrina Horniman

Yes!

Yeah.

Sabrina Horniman

Oh God, of courseǃ

You'll have me back?

Sabrina Horniman

We want you home.

Great.

Sabrina Horniman

We do, my darling.

Great.

Sabrina Horniman

I do think it's important not to rush into these things.

I'm not rushing. I've thought about it a lot. I've got a bag packed.

Sabrina Horniman

Yes, well, not today.

We don't have room in the car.

Sabrina Horniman

There's no room in the car.

Sabrina Horniman

[being driven away] Did you notice a lot of crucifixes?

Among other things.

Sabrina Horniman

There's something very strange going on.
