A Company of Men (2017)

Chloe Pirrie: Eileen Parker

Quotes 

• Man : Mrs. Parker. How can I help?

  Eileen Parker : I'd like to separate from my husband. Better still, divorce.

  Man : Do you mind me asking, on what grounds?

  Eileen Parker : The fact I never see him.

  Man : Absence isn't a legal ground for divorce.

  Eileen Parker : Neglect?

  Man : Nor that, I'm afraid. You're going to need one of the big three: Adultery, unreasonable behavior or insanity.

  Eileen Parker : I'm quite sure there has been adultery.

  Man : We will need evidence.

  Eileen Parker : That won't be easy. Because of his job. Mike works for the Duke of Edinburgh.

  Man : In what capacity?

  Eileen Parker : His private secretary.

  Man : Oh, I see.

  Eileen Parker : He's also his closest friend. They're virtually inseparable.

  Man : Are you really sure about this? A divorce can leave a woman quite isolated. Maybe things will get better if you stick it out. I tend to think that's always the best way for everyone. Grass is rarely greener.

  Eileen Parker : I will come back when I have evidence.

• Eileen Parker : So you telephoned me and agreed to come here today for what, precisely? To put color into my nightmares?

  Lily : I'm sorry.
