Bridget Jones’s Diary – The Reindeer Christmas Jumper
BRIDGET: Hoo. Ding-dong. Maybe this time Mum had got it right.
MUM: Come on. Why don’t we see if Mark fancies a gherkin?
DAD: [Whispering] Good luck.
MUM: Mark?
BRIDGET: Maybe this was the mysterious Mr. Right… I’d been waiting my whole life to meet.
MUM: You remember Bridget.
BRIDGET: Maybe not.
MUM: She used to run around your lawn…with no clothes on, remember?
MARK: Uh, no, not as such.
UNA: Come and look at your gravy, Pam. I think it’s going to need sieving.
MUM: Of course it doesn’t need sieving. Just stir it, Una. Yes, of course. I’ll be right there. Sorry. Lumpy gravy calls.
ANDY WILLIAMS SINGING: Let me love you
BRIDGET: So.
MARK: So.
BRIDGET: You staying at your parents’ for New Year?
MARK:Yes.
BRIDGET: Mmm.
MARK:You?
BRIDGET: Oh, no, no, no. I was in London at a party last night… so I’m afraid I’m a bit hung over. Wish I could be lying with my head in the toilet… Like all normal people.
