Period Drama Quotes Quiz

Posted on 09:13 by retino


 I've decided to try a game this week! Below are 12 quotes from 12 different period dramas. Leave your guesses in a comment and I will respond with your score. 5 points will be rewarded for each correctly guessed period drama and 5 points for guessing the character who says the line, and if there are two characters in question, 10 points will be rewarded for naming them both. A total of 145 points can be earned. I will post the answers next Friday. Have fun! : )

#1 Character 1: Looking back, the city and I never much liked each other. After all, an unmarried woman was expected to behave in very particular ways, which did not include traipsing around from publisher to publisher with a gaggle of friends.

#2 Character 1: Mama,              wants a knife.
       Character 2: Whatever for?
       Character 1: To kill herself.

#3 Character 1: Quack! goes the duck, meow! goes the cat, bow, wow, wow! goes the dog!

#4  Character 1: I named him            , like in the Bible. Page one, if you've a mind to take it up.

#5 Character 1: Tell us,                        , in your four years as U.S. Marshall, how many men have you shot?
       Character 2: Shot or killed?
       Character 1: Let us restrict it to killed so that we may have a more manageable figure!

#6 Character 1: Everyone always told me my dreams were lies, because I said out loud what I should have kept secret. But all I ever wanted was to make it true: to wish and to wish and to wish, and to make it true.

#7 Character 1: Do you care what happens to you?
       Character 2: Well, yes, I must admit I do.
       Character 1: I don't. The elements may have me when they please!

#8 Character 1:              , if only                  had gone home to                    , we could have taken                to see him, for we live but half a mile away.
       Character 2: Five and a half.
       Character 1: No, I cannot believe it is that far, for you can see the place from the top of our hill. Is it really five and a half? No, I cannot believe it.
       Character 2: Try.

#9 Character 1: And are you afraid of me?
       Character 2: No, sir.
       Character 1: Well, you ought to be. 'Cause I'm a terror when I'm roused.

#10 Character 1: England, sir?
          Character 2: Yes, England, boy! A big, damp, foggy island nor-noreast of Ushant. Think you can find it?
           Character 1: Yes, sir.

#11 Character 1: Am I a machine without feelings? Do you think that because I am poor, plain, obscure and little that I am soulless and heartless? I have as much soul as you and full as much heart. And if God had possessed me with beauty and wealth, I could make it as hard for you to leave me as I to leave you!

#12 Character 1: It seems that these past few years I have been harbouring an illusion. More than one, in fact...And you humoured them. You led me on.
         Character 2: Yes, I let you go on.
         Character 1: Was that kind?
         Character 2: Who am I, for God's sake, that I should be kind?
