Alice Sénéchal : They can wait five minutes. Come on.
Henri Sénéchal : No, no, not here. We can't.

Henri Sénéchal : Any news from Miranda?
Rafael Acosta : Yes.
Henri Sénéchal : The situation?
Rafael Acosta : Quite calm.

Alice Sénéchal : You have problems with the students?
Rafael Acosta : Students are young. They must have some fun.
Simone Thévenot : How's your government treating them?
Rafael Acosta : We are not against the students, but what can you do with a room full of flies? You take a fly-swatter and Bang! Bang!

M. Thévenot : Let's start with the wine, shall we?
Alice Sénéchal : Yes!
Simone Thévenot : Well, that depends on what we order.
M. Thévenot : Now what do you like, madame? I like burgundy.
Alice Sénéchal : Oh, burgundy. Burgundy.
M. Thévenot : Well, to tell the truth, even if I eat oysters or fish, I prefer red wine. So.
Simone Thévenot : Snails cha.blisienne.
Alice Sénéchal : Oh, I simply hate snail.
Simone Thévenot : Yeah?
M. Thévenot : I wouldn't mind having a rabbit pâté; but, uh, in these restaurants, I think it's always too salty. So.
Rafael Acosta : Look, they've got melon.
Alice Sénéchal : Oh, that's a good idea. I'll have melon with port.
M. Thévenot : I wouldn't mind some caviar, but I'm afraid it won't be the best quality and they'll give tiny portions. I'd prefer my own little brand.
Rafael Acosta : Is there any fish on the menu? I'm very fond of fish.
Simone Thévenot : Oh, well, they've got great sardines and filet of sole and fried codfish, and also buttered skate and quenelles of pike and grilled lobster.
Alice Sénéchal : The place isn't very expensive. It's not expensive and there's nobody here. That's rather odd.
Florence : You think so? Well, I think I'll skip the melon, and instead I'll have a dry martini, if you don't mind.
Simone Thévenot : Out of the question. It's red wine or nothing. So there.
M. Thévenot : And a good bottle of Crémant to warm us up, huh?
