Quotes
-
Alcide Laurier : Does he love you?
Brigitte Laurier : Not at all, unfortunately.
Alcide Laurier : Good, you could end up unhappy with that guy.
Brigitte Laurier : Why?
Alcide Laurier : He's much too ambitious to be seriously involved with a woman. He's not the loving type.
Brigitte Laurier : What about his mistresses?
Alcide Laurier : That's got nothing to do with it. He has mistresses because - eh - By the way, I hope you didn't...
Brigitte Laurier : Oh, no, Daddy, never.
Alcide Laurier : And he's never tried...
Brigitte Laurier : Never.
Alcide Laurier : Bravo! He's a complete idiot, but at least he's honorable.
-
Michel Legrand : [Michel caught with Brigitte hiding in his bed] Mr. President.
Alcide Laurier : You zip it, understand? To do that to me, in front of everybody.
Michel Legrand : I swear I've done nothing! It's just a misunderstanding. Say something, Brigitte! Tell him!
Brigitte Laurier : I'll say whatever you want, darling.
Michel Legrand : Don't call me darling.
Brigitte Laurier : Okay, darling.
-
Michel Legrand : Mr. President, listen. On my honor. On the honor of the government and the Republic, nothing happened.
Brigitte Laurier : Really?
Alcide Laurier : The whole of Paris saw my daughter half-naked in your bed and you tell me nothing happened. Well, I assure you something will happen. A wedding, you hear me? Immediately.
Brigitte Laurier : Daddy, I love you.
-
Michel Legrand : Mr. President, do not upset her.
Alcide Laurier : Shut up or I'll request your resignation immediately and slap you silly.
Brigitte Laurier : Great idea. Go ahead.
Alcide Laurier : [Slaps Brigitte] There!
-
Alcide Laurier : Look, my dear, I find all this difficult to believe. You've just come back from your honeymoon. It's still way too early. It can't be that terrible. So, what's the problem?
Brigitte Laurier : I married a Don Juan. You did warn me.
Alcide Laurier : He's unfaithful already?
Brigitte Laurier : Not yet, but he will be. I can feel it. And when he does, I'll get even! I swear!
-
Alcide Laurier : You're delusional. Michel loves you.
Brigitte Laurier : Do you really think so? He's never told me.
Alcide Laurier : Love and sadness are always silent.
-
Alcide Laurier : Did Brigitte tell you she was with him?
Michel Legrand : She certainly did.
Alcide Laurier : Calm down. If she had really been with him, she would have told you the opposite. Women never tell the truth.
-
Michel Legrand : Now, my darling, where were you this afternoon?
Brigitte Laurier : I was with the prince.
Michel Legrand : She's at it again.
Alcide Laurier : Brigitte's only joking. Tell Michel where you really were.
Brigitte Laurier : I went to the cinema on the Champs-Élysées to see an Italian film.
[Crossing her fingers, on both hands, behind her back]
Brigitte Laurier : I met an old school friend coming out - the one you think is stupid - and we went for a cup of tea together.
