5. Lady Nancy Astor: If I were your wife I would put poison in your coffee! Sir Winston Churchill: And if I were your husband I would drink it! I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Bessie Braddock: Winston, you are drunk, and what's more, you are disgustingly drunk. Sir Winston Churchill: Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.
