Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason (2004)

Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason

"Same Bridget. Brand new diary"

"The perfect boyfriend. The perfect life. What could posssibly go wrong?"

"Big Lawyer. Big Liar. Big Problem"

"Bridget's back! (UK)"

Summary:

In this follow-up to the worldwide hit, we find Bridget (Renée Zellweger) where we left her: blissful and besotted in the arms of gorgeous lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Mark is accomplished, supportive and tolerant of (nearly) all of Bridget's tiny jealousies; why wouldn't every woman in London, including Mark's new long-legged, drop-dead-gorgeous, I-always-say-the-right-thing-at-all-times intern, want to lure him away from the plumpish, opinionated, sometimes inappropriate Bridget? With the entry of the leggy threat, Bridget's pink clouds begin to turn grey as her attacks of self-doubt sorely test her relationship with Darcy. And just when it seems that the waters couldn't get any more choppy, Bridget's former boss, womanizing heartthrob Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) sails into view.

Memorable Quotes from "Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason":

Mark Darcy: [answers the phone] Hello?

Bridget Jones: It's me. Just wondered how you are.

Mark Darcy: I'm fine thanks. Everything alright with you?

Bridget Jones: Fine, though, er, I've just had a rather graphic shag flashback. You do have a genuinely gorgeous bottom.

Mark Darcy: Right, well, thank you. I'm actually with the Mexican Ambassador just at the moment and the Head of Amnesty International and the Under Secretary for Trade and Industry and you're on speakerphone.

Bridget Jones: Oh, right.

Mark Darcy: [Bridget gets out of bed covered in a sheet and begins to fumble around] What on Earth are you doing?

Bridget Jones: Getting dressed.

Mark Darcy: Why're you dancing around in that tent business?

Bridget Jones: Because I don't want you to see any of my wobbly bits.

Mark Darcy: Well now that's a bit pointless isn't it. As I happen to have a very high regard for your wobbly bits. In all circumstances.

Bridget Jones: [Bridget's head emerges from the sheet] Really?

Mark Darcy: Absolutely. I think it's high time we had another look.

[Bridget drops the sheet on the floor]

Mark Darcy: Bridget, will you stop? Stop staring at me while I'm asleep.

Now, find something to do.

Bridget Jones: Sorry.

[Bridget turns away, only to turn back around again to look at Mark]

Bridget Jones: [diary] Have never been happier in entire life. However, must not obsess or fantasize. [pause]

Bridget Jones: Bridget Darcy; Mrs. Darcy; Mr. and Mrs. Darcy; Lord and Lady Darcy!

Rebecca: Bridget Jones!

Bridget Jones: No, I'm Bridget Jones!

Bridget Jones: You are angry.

Mark Darcy: No, I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

Bridget Jones: Disappointed? Oh god, that's worse than angry.

Mark Darcy: I'm just disappointed I can't take you home this instant.

Mark Darcy: And this is Horatio...

Bridget Jones: Horatio?

Mark Darcy: Yes, Horatio.

Bridget Jones: I read that you should never go out with someone if you can think of three reasons why you shouldn't.

Mark Darcy: And can you think of three?

Bridget Jones: Yes.

Mark Darcy: Which are?

Bridget Jones: First off, I embarrass you. I can't ski, I can't ride, I can't speak Latin , my legs only come up to here and yes I will always be just a little bit fat. And you, you fold your underpants before you go to bed!

Mark Darcy: No, hang on! That-that can't be a reason.

Bridget Jones: No, it's not a reason! But you're not perfect either! You look down your nose at absolutely everyone and you're incapable of doing anything spontaneous or potentially affectionate.

[pause]

Bridget Jones: It feels like you're waiting to find someone in the VIP room who's- who's so fantastic, just the way she is, that you don't need to fix her.

Mark Darcy: Bridget, this is mad.

Bridget Jones: And perhaps you thought you found her.

[long pause]

Bridget Jones: Do you *want* to marry me?

[awkward silence]

Mark Darcy: Look- I-

Bridget Jones: You see, you can never muster the strength, to fight for me.

[long silence. Mark opens his mouth and closes it again. Bridget walks out]

Mark Darcy: Would you step outside please?

Daniel Cleaver: I'm afraid it's not possible.

Mark Darcy: Look are you gonna step outside or do I have to drag you?

Daniel Cleaver: I think you're gonna have to drag me.

Daniel Cleaver: [while fighting] You're insane!

Mark Darcy: And you're a disgrace Cleaver and you're gonna pay for it!

Daniel Cleaver: Ow, you're pulling my hair! Fuck off, I'm not going in the sodding water!

Mark Darcy: You're going in Cleaver!

Daniel Cleaver: If I'm going in, you're going in with me, you smug bastard!

[they fall in the fountain]

Daniel Cleaver: [after fighting and falling into a fountain together] What are you gonna do now? Drown me in sixteen inches of water?

Mark Darcy: [slight pause] Yes, certainly.

[fight resumes]

Daniel Cleaver: [Daniel Cleaver and Mark Darcy have just had a fistfight over Bridget] You know what, mate? If you are so obsessed with Bridget Jones, why don't you just marry her?

Mark Darcy: [turns away and starts to walk]

Daniel Cleaver: [pause] Cause then she'd definitely shag me.

[Mark dives again into the fountain]

Mark Darcy: Can I ask you a question Bridget?

Bridget Jones: Of course, any question... as long as it's not, 'Will You Marry Me'.

[pause after looking at Mark's face]

Bridget Jones: Omg, it is isn't it? It's will you Marry me? Ok, no! Wait, pretend that we just came out...

Mark Darcy: No, Bridget, the moment is gone

[walks back to the door, opens and closes it]

Bridget Jones: and you asked me if you could ask me a question and I said yes and NOTHING more. Ok, go.

Mark Darcy: Bridget Jones, will you marry me?
