Fanfan la Tulipe (1952) Poster

Olivier Hussenot: Tranche-Montagne

Quotes 

  • Tranche-Montagne : You're hot-blooded. Watch out. I used to be that way. I couldn't control myself. So I wound up with eight kids. When the anger passes, there's another mouth to feed.

  • Tranche-Montagne : [drunkenly]  Here's to you, Fanfan.

    Fanfan La Tulipe : [clicks wine glasses]  Oh, do you see Adeline at the bottom of my glass?

    Tranche-Montagne : Adeline?

    Fanfan La Tulipe : Adeline. She's smiling at me. Yes? She's telling me, drink me. I didn't expect to find you there. Get out of there.

  • Tranche-Montagne : My head feels like an egg with a chick pecking away inside.

  • Tranche-Montagne : A woman tells the truth to cover up a lie.

  • Tranche-Montagne : Life is no fun, especially when you have to leave it.

  • La Franchise : I'd like to be five days older.

    Tranche-Montagne : Why?

    La Franchise : I'll be dead by then. That's when we attack the enemy. No one will miss me, not even me.

  • Tranche-Montagne : All I can say is, "Long live life!" And I'm being modest. I've seen death up close, and she's not worth knowing. She's got a nasty death's-head!
