Love Actually
Alan Rickman: Tell me, exactly, how long it is that you've been working here?
Laura Linney: Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, what... two hours?
Alan Rickman: And how long have you been in love with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer?
Laura Linney: Ahm, two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, an hour and thirty minutes.
Alan Rickman: I thought as much.
Laura Linney: Do you think everybody knows?
Alan Rickman: Yes.
Laura Linney: Do you think Karl knows?
Alan Rickman: Yes.
Laura Linney: Oh, that is... that is bad news.
Alan Rickman: Well I just thought maybe the time had come to do something about it.
Laura Linney: Like what?
Alan Rickman: Invite him out for a drink and then, after about twenty minutes, casually drop into the conversation the fact that you'd like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies.
Laura Linney: You know that?
Alan Rickman: Yes, and so does Karl. Think about it, for all our sakes. It's Christmas.
Laura Linney: Certainly. Excellent. Will do. Thanks, boss!
