Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002)

Angus Macfadyen: Connor

Quotes 

• Vivi : [after Vivi has hung up on Connor several times, Connor calls one last time]  Yes?

  Connor : I don't know if you really ruined Sidda's life or not, but I do know right now that you're ruining mine! And your phone etiquette SUCKS!

  [hangs up] 

  Vivi : [aghast]  He hung up on me!

• Vivi : I tried to be the best momma I could.

  Connor : How did that go?

  Vivi : Not so hot.

• Connor : [about Sidda and Connor's wedding]  Vivi, it's taken years to nail down a date. She's always said, "What's the rush, when things are so good?" I don't know what the hell she's so afraid of - it's like she's always waiting for the bottom to drop out.

  Vivi : You know why she thinks that, don't ya, honey? Because it did. It always did.

• Connor : [on the phone with Sidda]  Hi.

  Sidda : How did you know it was me?

  Connor : Who else? How are you feeling?

  Sidda : A little disoriented.

  Connor : Well, horse tranquilizers will do that for you.

  Sidda : I can't believe you let them do this.

  Connor : They didn't ask my permission. They called me on the way to the airport, they informed me of their plan. I saw you off.

  Sidda : From where?

  Connor : I met you at the airport, helped them get you on the plane. They're organized. They even had a note from a doctor. By the way, your pills are in your bag.

  Sidda : [to Ya Yas]  I have a bag?

  Caro : Yeah, in the closet. Tell Connor we say hello.

  Connor : [Sidda asks Connor if he heard them]  Yeah. I'll tell you one thing, meeting them explains a lot about you.

  Sidda : Such as?

  Connor : Well, let me put it this way. You're a hell of a lot more normal than you've any right to be.

  Sidda : Listen, I'm gonna try and bust out of here tomorrow. I gotta get back for work.

  Connor : Don't rush back on my account.

  Sidda : I just said it was for work.

  Connor : And I just meant maybe you ought to try to stay and fix this thing with your mother for once and for all.

  Sidda : Why are you so worried about this?

  Connor : Because I'm afraid that one day our kids may feel that way about you.

  Sidda : Ow.

  Connor : These women may be nuts, but I have a feeling they might know something that you don't.

  Sidda : I don't think it's fair that you're bringing kids we don't even have into this, Connor, okay? That was just a really low blow.

  Connor : Well, that's the way I feel. Stay there. Deal with it.

  Sidda : [hangs up]  YOU deal with it.

• Connor : [Answering the phone]  Hello, Vivi.

  Vivi : Well, hello, Connor.

  Connor : Did you call to talk to Sidda, or to hang up?

• Vivi : Did she actually say she was calling the whole thing off?

  Connor : Did she use those exact words? No, she said, "Don't mail out he invitations."

  Vivi : Yeah, but she didn't say burn them or throw them out. That's hopeful.

• Vivi : You know, Teensy, ever since you quit drinking you've stopped thinking clearly. How can I possibly call somebody who no longer exists? Give me the phone!

  [phone rings on Sidda's end] 

  Sidda : Oh my God, that's her. Do not pick up the phone, please don't pick up the phone, Connor. Connor, don't pick up the phone!

  Connor : [picks up the phone]  Hello?

  Vivi : Well, hello Connor.

  Connor : Oh, hello Vivi. How are you?

  Vivi : Well just lovely, thank you for asking. Is she there?

  [Connor hands the phone to Sidda, as she glares at Connor and takes the phone] 

  Sidda : ...Momma?

  Vivi : ...YOUUUUUUU!

  Vivi : [slams phone against the table] 

• Connor : I don't know what it is she's afraid of. It's like she always thinks the bottom will drop out.

  Vivi : I think you know why she thinks that, don't you, honey? Because it did. It always did.
