QUOTES FROM Celia Imrie CHARACTERS
Madge Hardcastle says: One was rather hoping to fly under the radar, but one is a member of the royal family.
Mr. Maruthi says: Which member, madam?
Madge Hardcastle says: I'm Princess Margaret.
Mr. Maruthi says: It is most certainly an honor to meet you, madam. And may I say how well you look, especially taking into account that you died nine years ago.
Evelyn Greenslade says: Is it our friend we are grieving for, whose life we knew so little? Or is it our own loss that we are mourning? Have we traveled far enough that we can allow our tears to fall?
Madge Hardcastle says: When someone dies, you think about your own life. And I don't want to grow older. I don't want to be condescended to. To become marginalized and ignored by society. I don't want to be the first person they let off the plane in a hostage crisis. [chuckles]
