Emma Quotes
Emma Dinsmore: What is it with guys like Adam? Do they really like being driven crazy by women like Polina? They're like lemmings running into the sea. They can't wait to be drowning in their own misery. If they're not in agony, then it can't be love! Why do men want women like that?
Alex: Maybe you're not picturing Polina the way I'm picturing her.
Emma Dinsmore: Gorgeous? Exciting? Incredibly sexy?
Alex: Maybe you are.
Emma Dinsmore: Yeah, that's great for a weekend but what do you think will happen in the long run?
Alex: What do you mean, like the next weekend?
Emma Dinsmore: No. Like when it's time for the first laundry. I know, I know. In great romantic novels there is not laundry or there's people like Ylva or Elsa to do it. Maybe that's why I like them. They can was their own clothes.

Movie: Emma
Harriet Smith: I know you didn't expect me, Miss Woodhouse, but I was passing and I wanted to ask you...
[She breaks off, appalled at the sight of the Eltons. She doesn't know what to do with herself. She is too confused even to flee. Emma realizes there is nothing else for it but to introduce her]
Emma Woodhouse: It's very lucky you came, Harriet. You can make the acquaintance of Mrs. Elton. Mrs. Elton, allow me to introduce my friend, Miss Harriet Smith.
Mrs. Elton: Indeed? I am very pleased to make your acquaintance, Miss - what was the name?
Harriet Smith: Smith.
[Mrs. Elton obviously heard all about Harriet from the very biased point of view of Mr. Elton and is contemptuous of her]
Mrs. Elton: Smith, yes. No relation to the Smiths of West Hall near Maple Grove?
Harriet Smith: I don't think so.
[Desperately to Emma]
Harriet Smith: I really think I'd better go...
Mrs. Elton: Very vulgar people encumbered with low connections, and yet expecting to be on footing with the established families. Isn't it extraordinary how some people have so little sense of rank?
Harriet Smith: Yes, it is - indeed.
Mrs. Elton: These particular Smiths come from Birmingham, you know, which is not a place of much promise. Have you any connections with Birmingham, Miss Smith?
Harriet Smith: I don't believe so.
Emma Woodhouse: Pray sit down, Harriet.
Mrs. Elton: Very unpleasant people.
