Quotes 

• Mark Corrigan : [voiceover]  Must maintain good relations. Can't propose in bad odour. Jesus! 33% of our mini-break weekend has already gone! Everything's got to be perfect for the big moment.

  Sophie Chapman : Look, let's just go anywhere, yeah?

  Mark Corrigan : [pointing to a restaurant]  Well, what about here?

  Sophie Chapman : Uh... do you think? It looks a bit...

  Mark Corrigan : Yeah sure.

  [voiceover] 

  Mark Corrigan : No! No, I don't know what your inexpressible criteria are. Why don't you tell me the secret fucking formula?

  Sophie Chapman : Why not go back to the place with the weird menus?

  Mark Corrigan : Oh, back? No no, we can't go back, we've got to push on, push on to Moscow. I'll just see if, there might be something in one of the guides.

  Sophie Chapman : Oh Mark, put away the guides, I want to have a real experience, I want to go to the places no one goes.

  Mark Corrigan : Yeah, well I think there's probably a reason why no one goes to the places no one goes, they're overpriced and have poor service.

  Sophie Chapman : Oh, Mark! Will you just try and leave the guides out of it and try and experience this bloody town!

  [she grabs the guidebook off him and puts it into a postbox] 

  Mark Corrigan : [voiceover]  Oh great, she's posted a book. And I suppose I'm supposed to find that incredibly charming and French. Well it's not, it's a waste of £8.99. But I've got to grin and take it because it's the proposal weekend.

• Gerard : Excuse me, do you have a light?

  Sophie Chapman : Oh, I'm sorry, we don't smoke.

  Isobel : He thinks I hide his lighter. Do I look like the sort of woman who'd hide her husband's cigarette lighter?

  Sophie Chapman : No, not at all.

  Gerard : She also doesn't look like the sort of person who'd strangle a cat, but I haven't seen Castro in four days.
