Mary and Max (2009)

Barry Humphries: Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : Max knew nothing about love. It was as foreign to him as a salad sandwich.

• Narrator : Max hoped Mary would write again. He'd always wanted a friend. A friend that wasn't invisible, a pet or rubber figurine.

• [last lines] 

  Narrator : He smelled like licorice and old books, she thought to herself, as tears rolled from her eyes, the color of muddy puddles.

• Narrator : Max had trouble understanding non-verbal signals. Flirting was as foreign to him as jogging.

• [first lines] 

  Narrator : Mary Dinkle's eyes were the color of muddy puddles. Her birthmark, the color of poo.

• Narrator : [after describing Mary, he has moved to Max]  Meanwhile, a man called Max Horowitz also watched "The Noblets." Max's small television had picture but no sound. His big television, sound but no picture.

• Narrator : Even though Max's letter smelt like fishheads and orange peel, Mary drank his words like a bowl of alphabet soup, and hadn't been this excited since Grandpoppy Ralph had found a coin up her nose.
