David Griffin: Emmet

Quotes 

• Emmet : [Looking out the window as Onslow, Daisy, and Rose arrive at Hyacinth's house]  The blonde one's there - the one that's always trying to seduce me!

  Elizabeth : [looks]  Oh, yes. Rose.

  Emmet : If they're family, why is Hyacinth acting as if they're strangers?

  Elizabeth : That's the impression she likes to give.

  Emmet : You don't think the blonde one will try to force her way in, do you?

  Elizabeth : In here? Oh, I'd hardly think so.

  Emmet : I wish you'd sound a bit more optimistic!

• Elizabeth : [When the doorbell rings but Emmet refuses to answer it]  Who's that at the door?

  Emmet : Hyacinth!

  Elizabeth : Hyacinth? Not left on the doorstep!

  Emmet : Only because I'm not big enough to throw her back onto the street!

  Elizabeth : You can't just leave her on the doorstep!

  Emmet : We can try, Liz! If we both pull together, we can try!

  Elizabeth : [Tries to get past]  You've got a thing about Hyacinth.

  Emmet : [Rapid-fire]  Don't let her in, she'll sing at me!

  Elizabeth : She must have had some reason to come to the door, and it can't be to sing at you!

  Emmet : [as Liz shoves by to go to the door]  But she will! She'll sing at me!
