Sally Hawkins: Poppy

Happy-Go-Lucky

Poppy

Scott: Every week I ask you, "Please wear appropriate footwear." And every week you insist on wearing those stupid boots.
Poppy: Yeah, sorry about that.
Scott: You know what this is? This is vanity before safety.
Poppy: Oh, right.
Scott: "I'm sorry, Mrs Jones, I'm sorry. Poppy killed your child, but don't worry, she looked really cool in her sexy, seductive boots."
Poppy: Hmm, am I keeping you awake at night?
Scott: No.
Poppy: You sure about that?

Scott: Right, you see three mirrors: your two side-view mirrors and your rear-view mirror. They make a Golden Triangle.
Poppy: Is that like the pubic triangle?
Scott: It's a pyramid, and at the top of the pyramid, you see the all-seeing eye, Enraha. Can you repeat that, please? En-ra-ha.
Poppy: Are you talking about the eye of Lucifer?
Scott: No!
Poppy: [laughing] 'Cause I don't know if I want to look in there, thank you very much.
Scott: It's not Lucifer. There are two fallen angels before Lucifer. There is Enraha, Raziel and Lucifer.
Poppy: Sorry, I don't have them in my phone book.

Scott: You know, you can make jokes while you're driving, Poppy, but you will crash and you will die laughing.
Poppy: Well, if you're going to go, it's the best way to go, I suppose. Are you scared of death, Scott?
Scott: No, I'm not scared of death. I'm scared of dying. That's why I woke up.
Poppy: Oh, when did you wake up?
Scott: A long time ago.
Poppy: Who set the alarm?
Scott: I set the alarm. I opened my eyes, and I saw.

Poppy: I've got a violent pupil in my flock.
Zoe: What's he doing?
Poppy: Being violent.
Zoe: What, is he hitting you?
Poppy: Been hitting the other kids.
Zoe: What are you doing about it?
Poppy: Spoke to Heather... Poor little bugger. You've got to love them, haven't you?
Zoe: Yes, otherwise you kill 'em.

Scott: The left brain is information, data. It's dead. The right brain is individuality. It's where the soul lies. And the education system, it works like this... "I will give you a world view. And if you repeat my world view, if you reconfirm my world view, you will pass your exams and you will go higher and higher and higher, and you will become a policeman, a magistrate, a lawyer, a general, a politician. And you will be happy and you will succeed. But if you think for yourself, if you think outside of the box, then you will be unhappy and you will fail. That's how the education system works. Left turn. Enraha. Signal. Enraha.
Poppy: [silence, then contemplatively] Were you bullied at school, Scott?

Poppy: It was in a Cadillac. In Miami. Bunny hop down the beach. I was a bit pissed. It was hilarious!

Scott: Okay Poppy, this is your third driving lesson.
Poppy: I'm getting quite good, aren't I?
Scott: No, you're not good. You're smug. You're too easily distracted. You're distracted by squirrels, by dogs, by children in the park, by old ladies in surgical stockings, by half-naked men in their gardens.
Poppy: Oh well, he was quite fit, wasn't he?
Scott: No, he wasn't fit, he had a paunch.
Poppy: I didn't know you were checking it out so carefully, Scott, eh?

Scott: Do you remember the shape of the pyramid?
Poppy: Enraha.
Scott: No, Enraha is the eye at the top of the pyramid. I'm talking about the bottom of the pyramid.
Poppy: Oh yah?
Scott: Where those at the bottom of the pyramid in this world are kept in total ignorance of what those at the top of the pyramid are achieving.
[reminding Poppy to check rear-view mirror]
Scott: Enraha. Enraha.
Scott: Where are you on the pyramid?
Poppy: Me, I'm outside the pyramid and I'm looking in.
Scott: Oh, of course you are.
Poppy: But where are you... but where are you? That is more to the point. Where are you, and where are your children?
Scott: That is the question, where are we all, eh?
