Serge Reggiani: Franz

Quotes 

• Franz : How about that bench, Miss Marie?

  Marie : No, Monsieur Franz. It's too dark here.

  Franz : Don't be afraid. I'm here.

  Marie : That's just it.

• Léocadie : Don't just run off!

  Franz : [Bugle blowing in the distant]  Can't you hear? I'll get four days for this.

  Léocadie : At least tell me your name.

  Franz : What's it matter?

  Léocadie : I'm Léocadie.

  Franz : Strange name!

  Léocadie : You at least got a farewell cigarette?

  Franz : I'm all out. Gotta run. Good night.

  Léocadie : Good night. That beats all! Some time I'd have if everyone was a bum like you! Beat it, cheap stake! Look at the bastard running off! The filthy swine! Not even a cigarette! That's men for you!

• Franz : I tell you, Miss Marie, none of those girls had curves like you.

  Marie : So you felt them all?

  Franz : When you dance, you can compare.

  Marie : Yes, I think you like comparing.

• Franz : Don't be afraid.

  Marie : No, I don't want to!

  Franz : Here's another bench. Let's sit there awhile.

  Marie : Alright, but behave yourself.

  Franz : Yes.

  Marie : Promise? Promise?

• Léocadie : How about it, handsome? Want to come with me?

  Franz : You calling me handsome?

  Léocadie : Who else? I live nearby. Come and warm up. The Spring air is cool.

  Franz : I have to get back to the barracks.

  Léocadie : It's still early. My place is cozier.

  Franz : I'm sure it is.

  Léocadie : Not so loud. There are cops around.

• Léocadie : Come on.

  Franz : I have no money.

  Léocadie : I don't need money.

  Franz : Your daddy's a Rothschild?

  Léocadie : No, I charge civilians, but its free for boys like you.

  Franz : Free?

• Franz : Michel told me about you.

  Léocadie : I don't know any Michel.

  Franz : The bar on the Schiffgasse. You took him home.

  Léocadie : I've taken home quite a few from that bar.

• Franz : Alright, but let's hurry.

  Léocadie : You're in a rush now that it's free! At least kiss me. It's nicer when there's a little feeling.

  Franz : Come on.

• Léocadie : Since my place is too far, let's go down there.

  Franz : Down there? You've got a few tricks up your sleeve!

• Franz : Where are we?

  Léocadie : Don't worry. There's never anyone here.

  Franz : I don't like it here.

  Léocadie : I like it everywhere. Come on.

• Léocadie : We'll find a bench over there.

  Franz : No bench needed. We're not out in high society.

  Léocadie : Well, well!

  Franz : Am I right?

  Léocadie : I've always wanted a guy like you.

  Franz : Don't be so sure. I'm the jealous type.
