Audrey Hepburn's Amazing Roles
So this weekend I finally got my housemate to watch a collection of Audrey Hepburn movies: Breakfast at Tiffanies, Sabrina and My Fair Lady. Since I have never picspammed Audrey before, I thought challenge 13 @ picspammy would be a perfect. I never used to like Audrey (I know, its bad right...?) but then I finally sat down and watched My Fair Lady and after "Move your bloomin' arse!" I was hooked. Now I have her as my wallpaper on my computer, her quotes are on my mirror in red lipstick and her movies are watched every weekend. (Mind you, after I heard Blair from Gossip Girl quote from Breakfast at Tiffanies I knew I had to find it and watch it). Now, I like Audrey more than my mother. Enjoy the picspam and comment!

MY FAIR LADY
ELIZA: Two bunches o' violets trod in the mud. A full day's wages. I ain't done nothin' wrong by speakin' to the gentleman. I've a right to sell flow'rs if I keep off the curb. I'm a respectable girl, so help me. I never spoke to him except to ask him to buy a flow'r off me. I'm makin' an honest livin'. Sir, don't let 'im charge me. You dunno what it means to me. On my Bible oath, I never spoke a word.
HENRY: Now try it again. '"The rain in Spain...-
ELIZA: '"...stays mainly in the plain.'"
HENRY: What was that?
ELIZA: '"The rain in Spain...stays mainly in the plain.'"
HENRY: Again.
ELIZA: '"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.'"
HENRY: I think she's got it.
SABRINA
Dearest Father, we shall be graduating next week and I shall be getting my diploma. I want to thank you now for the two most wonderful years of my life. I shall always love you for sending me here. It is late at night
and someone across the way is playing "La Vie En Rose". It is the French way of saying, I am looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses. It says everything I feel. I have learnt so many things, Father. Not just how to make vichyssoise or calf's head with sauce vinaigrette, but a much more important recipe. I have learn how to live, how to be in the world and of the world... -and not just to stand aside and watch. And I will never, never again run away from life, or from love, either. I am taking the plane home on Friday, Father.
You needn't pick me up at the airport. I'll just take the Long Island Rail Road and you can meet me at the train. If you should have any difficulty recognising your daughter, I shall be the most sophisticated
woman at the Glen Cove station.
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANIES
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
