The 8 Accents of Meryl Streep

And we responded, as we have responded in times past, with unity, strength, and courage, sure in the knowledge that though much is sacrificed, in the end right will prevail over wrong. And I put it to the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite, that this is not a day for him to carp, find fault, demand inquiries. They will happen, I can assure him of that, for we have nothing to hide, no. Now, don't you, don't, don't make me go in there. Please, please don't make me go in there. Don't make me go in there. If you do, I swear, on one day next week, maybe next year, I don't know, I'll go right out the window. I'm not taking him with me. I'm no good for him. I'm terrible with him. I have no patience. He's better off without me. Joanne, please. And I don't love you anymore. Attack my family? Have you ever been attacked in your sweet, spoiled life? Tell her about tax, Mattie Faye. Tell her what an attack looks like. Don't tell me to settle down. Goddammit, I'm not a goddamn invalid. Am I to be abided now? Have I been passed over? This woman came to my rescue when one of my mother's many gentleman friends was attacking me with a claw hammer. This woman has dents in her skull from hammer blows. What do you know about attacks? What do you know about life on these planes? What do you know about hard times? We know you had a rotten childhood, Mom. Who didn't? You do not know. None of you know. None of you know, except this woman right here and that man we buried today. I'm not going to apologize for who I am. No, nobody does. And I'm not going to be made to feel like I've done something wrong. No, you're not going to be made to feel anything, period, because you have carved out this little part for yourself in the world where you get to be a voyeur and a hermit and a lover whenever you feel like it. And the rest of us are supposed to be incredibly grateful for this brief moment that you touched on. Go to hell. It isn't human not to be lonely and it isn't human not to be afraid. You're a hypocrite and you're a phony. Have you noticed the numbers in the school are falling? To be honest, Father, I haven't. I might need to let a teacher go. What'll I do if I stop teaching? Hi. Is he playing games with you? And I'm Michael. He's a terror when he's on his holidays. Oh, he couldn't be as bad as this one. Hi, I'm Sally. Hi. Yeah. Hello. Hey, it's Vadingo. Here, fella. Oh, don't encourage him, Michael. The signs say he shouldn't. I saw you this afternoon going up the rock with a baby in a backpack carrying a six-pack. I thought you were cracked. Oh, that's all my crystal, my limoge. Ah, they didn't know it was limoge. So you plan to stay then? Yes, I've come out to marry Baron Blixen. Do you know him? Broad, yes. Yes, we plan to start a dairy. Are you quite famous? They stopped the train for you. Well, it's rude not to here. A dairy. It's a bit soon for that. Milk at the door. Aren't you boarding? No, I'm going on. Oh, to where? I mentioned the ivory to Barclay Cole. Who knows him? I'm Baroness Blixen.
