[...]

- Hey, you. Come in at a footpace.

- Let's have the dispatch.

- Here it is, Mr. Lorry.

- Guard, there's nothing to be afraid of. I belong to Tellson's Bank in London. I'm going to Paris on business.

- May I read this?

- If so be as you're quick, sir.

- 'Wait for Miss Manette at Dover'. You see, guard, it's not long.

- Take back my answer to London. Here it is: 'Recalled to life'.

- What did you make of it, Tom?

- Nothing at all, Joe.

- This way to the Calais packet. This way to the Calais packet. We sail with the tide, ladies and gentlemen. All aboard for Calais.

Top rated lines from this movie

A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it.

For you and for any dear to you, I would do anything. Remember sometimes. Remember that there is a man who would give his life to keep a life you love beside you.

All day, tumbrils go through the streets, feeding the guillotine, and at its foot, splashed with blood, sit the women knitting late into the night, counting dropping heads.

I neither want any thanks or merit any. It was nothing to do in the first place, and I don't know why I did it in the second.
