Phantom Thread
Movie Quote Quiz

Alma: If he didn't wake up from this, if he wasn't here tomorrow, no matter. For I know he'd be waiting for me in the afterlife or some safe celestial place, in this life and the next and the next one after. And for whatever there is on the road that follows from here, it would only require my patience to get to him again. You see, to be in love with him makes life no great mystery.

Alma: I still think he's too fussy.

Reynolds Woodcock: There is an air of quiet death in this house and I do not like the way it smells.

Alma: For the hungry boy, my name is Alma.

Alma: I want you flat on your back. Helpless, tender, open with only me to help. And then I want you strong again. You're not going to die. You might wish you're going to die, but you're not going to. You need to settle down a little.

Reynolds Woodcock: To keep my sour heart from choking. To break a curse. A house that doesn't change is a dead house.

Johanna: Where have you gone, Reynolds. There's nothing I can say to get your attention aimed back at me, is there?
Reynolds Woodcock: I cannot begin my day with a confrontation, please. I'm delivering the dress today, and I can't take up space with confrontation. I simply don't have time for confrontations.

Cyril: And who is this lovely creature making the house smell so nice?

Reynolds Woodcock: It's comforting to think the dead are watching over the living. I don't find that spooky at all.

Alma: Mrs. Vaughan is satisfied with the dress.
Reynolds Woodcock: No one gives a tinker's fucking curse about Mrs. Vaughan's satisfaction.

Reynolds Woodcock: Is this an ambush? Are you sent here to ruin my evening? And possibly my entire life?

Cyril: She's getting fat sitting around waiting for you to fall in love with her again.

Factual error: When Reynolds is pulling up to the gas station headed to the countryside, you see a blue Michelin sign on the left against the gas station's building. The 'Michelin Man' logo style seen on the sign was not in use until the 2000s. The movie takes place in 1950s. (00:11:50)
