PopWatch Quote of the Day: Morning Beverage Edition

"Sweetie, make Mum a cup of coffee. Sweetheart, you’re so clever and you know where everything is, darling, don’t you? I think it’s marvelous the way you know where things are, darling. You’re marvelous. …No, not instant, darling, not instant. Grind some beans for God’s sake. Instant coffee’s just old beans that’ve been cremated. I don’t want them. I want them entire with life force today. [Sigh.] Could you not pull that face while you grind? I don’t really want to drink a cup full of your anger. [Sigh.] You know, I shouldn’t be drinking coffee! I shouldn’t be bloody drinking coffee! I don’t want any coffee, darling! Throw all that coffee away! I don’t want any bloody coffee! Ugh. I just wanted some fennel twig tea or something." –Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders), cajoling a hangover remedy from her daughter Saffie (Julia Sawalha), on Absolutely Fabulous.

    BEST SHOW EVER! So glad it’s getting it’s due in Popwatch maybe people will watch it instead of whatever horrible remake they will be doing over here in the states. “You can never have enough hats, gloves and shoes”

  • orville

    This is one of my favorite moments ever and a perfect way to introduce those two characters and their relationship. This was the first scene (between the two of them) of the series, right? My memory isn’t what it used to be for all things Ab Fab.

  • funkymono

    Feelin’ the Slezak love right now! And Orville, you are indeed correct: this is the first scene of the first episode. I think an AbFab evening is in order as soon as I get home from work.
