Funny / Pride (2014)

Go To

  • Gwen repeatedly asking the group's female members to confirm something she once heard about lesbians that 'really shocked' her. This turns out to be whether or not they're all vegetarians.
    Stella: Actually, Zoe and I are both vegans.
  • "Every woman is a lesbian at heart, INCLUDING REGGIE'S MUM!" sung to the tune of Solidarity Forever/Battle Hymn of The Republic.
  • Martin uses a freakishly low voice upon meeting Joe. Sian has this to say:
    Sian: There's no need to go the full Barry White, Martin. He knows you're heterosexual.
  • The scene where the women from the mining village having a group laugh over the dildo and gay porn magazine they find in Gethin and Jonathan's spare room; with special mention to the cut to Gethin and Jonathan in bed, with the latter saying "Don't those women ever sleep?" and also Hefina's line, "Jesus God that takes me back."
  • Although he's making a serious point, pushing back against Reggie's attempt to get him to take it easy on the "flamboyance," Jonathan's "It's just I haven't spoken 1950s in quite a while," is pretty funny.
  • Also, after putting on an awesome display of his dance skills at the Union Lodge, Jonathan says, "God I miss disco."
  • Gwen: "Dai, your gays have arrived!"
  • Dai's speech at the gay bar:
    Dai: I've had a lot of new experiences during this strike. Speaking in public, standing on a picket line, And now I'm in a gay bar.
    Jonathan: Well, if you don't like it, you can go home.
    Dai: As a matter of fact, I do like it.
    Crowd "Ooh"s
    Dai: Beer's a bit expensive, mind.
    Crowd Laughs
    Dai: But, really, there's only one difference between this and a bar in South Wales. [Beat] The women. [indicates a drag queen next to him on stage] They're a lot more feminine in here.
    Crowd laughs and cheers
  • Gethin's introduction to the strike committee, when he tells them he's from Rhyl, originally, Dai, Hefina, and Cliff all grow very serious.
    Hefina: [to Jonathan] Listen, we don't mind the gays, and the lesbians, that's fine. But don't you dare be bringing people from North Wales down here!
    cue a moment of awkward silence before Hefina, Dai, and Cliff all crack up
  • Heck, the exchange with Mark's neighbour at the beginning is pretty funny:
    Neighbour: I've spoken to the council about your deviant parties.
    Mark: There's no need to do that. Knock on the door, we'd let you in.
    Neighbor: They're sending a policeman!
    Mark: Oh, I do hope so.
  • Cliff, when the miners show up at the Pride Parade at the end of the film, is asked by a reporter if they were taken aback at all by a group of gays descending upon their small mining village. His reply is a perfect deadpan
    Cliff: Why on earth would we have found that weird? arches his eyebrow
  • Mark, upon being informed that he's going to have to speak in front of a huge crowd of displeased (and largely homophobic) miners:
    "Anyone else feel like appointing themselves leader?"
  • Hefina and Cliff clearing the air about a particular matter:
    Cliff: I'm gay.
    Hefina: I know.
    Cliff: Since the gays arrived?
    Hefina: Well, speaking for myself, since 1968.
  • When Hefina is driving the miners to the picket line in their new van (with the LGSM logo), another driver heckles and asks if she's a lesbian.
    Hefina: Yes, that's right. We're just on our way to Swansea for a massive les-off!
  • Hefina's approach to integrating the miners with the LGSM:
    Hefina: You can talk to Kev any day of the week. Get over there and find a gay or a lesbian right now.
    Carl: Look, Hefina, I've shaken their hands, I've bought them a pint. See? I don't wanna labor the point, do I? I might, you know, give them the wrong impression.
    Hefina: Oh, Right. Because you're so bloody irresistible, is that it, Carl Evans? Listen to me, I've seen you dancing round my backyard with no clothes on since you were this high, and I can tell you right now, these gays have thrown better away.
  • As he leaves home for good, ignoring his dad and calling his brother-in-law a dick, Joe has one final bit of snark for his sister:
    Joe: And Tina, that tight perm doesn't suit you. It never has.
