Quote context

[...]

- Well, Miss Manette, then.

- Miss Manette, then.

- That's a fair young lady to hand to a coach in the dark. That's a fair young lady to be pitied by, and wept for by.

- Huh, how's it feel? Is it worth being tried for one's life to be the object of such sympathy and compassion?

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.
