The Best Timothy Spall Quotes

Peter: What would you have done, Sirius?
Sirius: I would have died! I would have died rather than betray my friends, as we would have done for you!

[last lines]
Simon: [narrating] And so the days of the Samurai had ended. Nations, like men, it is sometimes said, have their own destiny. As for the American Captain, no one knows what became of him. Some say that he died of his wounds. Others, that he returned to his own country. But I like to think he may have at last found some small measure of peace, that we all seek, and few of us ever find.

Algren: He fought with the Samurai?
Simon: He IS Samurai.

Harry: [Flames burst beneath a huge stone cauldron as the door to a nearby house opens, revealing someone carrying a blanket-wrapped bundle. Harry drops to his knees, clutching his scar in agony] AAAAAGH!
Cedric: Harry, what is it?
Harry: Get back to the cup!
Cedric: [Cedric stands up, wand at the ready to defend both himself and Harry] Who are you? What do you want?
Voldemort: Kill the spare!
Peter: AVADA KEDAVRA!
Harry: NO! CEDRIC!

Beadle: Ah, sir, happy news indeed.
Judge: Strange, though, when I offered myself to her, she showed a certain reluctance.
Beadle: [sings] Excuse me, my lord. / May I request, my lord, / Permission, my lord, to speak? / Forgive me if I suggest, my lord, / You're looking less than your best, my lord, / There's powder upon your vest, my lord, / And stubble upon your cheek. / And ladies, my lord, are weak.
Judge: Stubble, you say? Perhaps I am a little overhasty in the morning.
Beadle: [sings] Fret not though, my lord, / I know a place, my lord, / A barber, my lord, of skill. / Thus armed with a shaven face, my lord, / Some eau de cologne to brace my lord / And musk to enhance the chase, my lord, / You'll dazzle the girl until...
Judge: Until?
Beadle: [sings] She bows to your every will.

Simon: [narrating] They say Japan was made by a sword.

I say, Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: honor.

[pointing to Algren]
Simon: This is the President of the United States of America! He is here to lead our armies in victorious battle against the rebels!
Guard: It is not my responsibility...
Simon: Now get over there and help those men with their equipment!
Guard: [to his men] Carry the equipment.
