Chanel Solitaire (1981)

Timothy Dalton: Boy Capel

Quotes 

• Etienne de Balsan : You work too hard.

  Boy Capel : You work too never. Look, I won't be a moment. Saddle up some horses and we'll go for a ride.

  Etienne de Balsan : Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

• Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : [about her father]  He's in America. He's a millionaire I believe. I haven't seen him for years. And that's about all.

  Boy Capel : I never knew my father. I was born on the wrong side of the blanket.

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : The wrong side of the blanket?

  Boy Capel : I'm a bastard.

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : I don't believe you. You are just saying that to make me feel better.

• Etienne de Balsan : I picked the girl out of the gutter. I made a home for her. She was a nobody before she met me. I feel cheated by you.

  Boy Capel : Etienne. You don't own her. She doesn't belong to you. Coco and I did nothing to be ashamed of. We love each other very much.

• Boy Capel : I came to tell you that I was wrong. I want you back.

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : You want me back? I never went anywhere.

  Boy Capel : How long has that been going on?

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : You have no right to ask. But I am going to tell you something. She is not the only one. I have lots of other lovers. I have everything now. Love. And success. My life is fulfilled and I don't need you anymore.

  Boy Capel : You call a succession of men and women love? Does it make you happy?

  Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel : At least it doesn't make me unhappy.
