Quotes 

• Lucienne Talbot : David, when does a bride become a wife?

• Lucienne Talbot : Thank you. But, what does it mean?

  David Talbot : Why that's Portuguese. That means you're lovely, you're beautiful, you're exquisite, you give me vertigo and I adore you. That's a rough translation, of course.

  Lucienne Talbot : Well, not so very rough.

• Lucienne Talbot : Monsieur, you mentioned that the private life of a diplomat must be above reproach. Does that mean that he must be beyond certain normal instincts?

  David Talbot : If, eh, if the following of those instincts were opposed to the good of his country, the diplomat would, I think, be expected to ignore them.

• Lucienne Talbot : Forgive me, Monsieur, but, I had to ask you one more question. If a girl fell in - I mean, if a girl were to be attracted by a nice young diplomat and wanted to go home with him, would the Foreign Office approve?

• David Talbot : You made me feel like a... comedian with a stooge in the audience.

  Lucienne Talbot : Darling, I am your stooge. That's what a wife is for.

  David Talbot : That's your opinion.

• Lucienne Talbot : We've been trying to look you up; but, you're not in the phone book.

  Henri Sarrou : I wish you had found me, Madame. Paris is the wrong city in which to be alone.

  Lucienne Talbot : It is, in deed.

• Lucienne Talbot : Some tea, darling? I think the water is still hot.

  David Talbot : Thanks, dear. I think I'll have a little cognac.

  Lucienne Talbot : A busy day, darling?

  David Talbot : Yes, rather.

• Lucienne Talbot : Aw, you don't remember.

  David Talbot : Yes, I do. Now, wait. Yes! That funny little restaurant in the mountains in the back of Cannes. Saint Paul.

  Lucienne Talbot : That's right. Remember the old man with the violin?

  David Talbot : Sure. He was a Hungarian. I thought he was going to put your eye out with his bow. He was getting so close to you.

  Lucienne Talbot : You were jealous, that's all.

  David Talbot : Yeah, I was.

• Lucienne Talbot : [Last lines] 

  [David leans in for a kiss] 

  Lucienne Talbot : Darling, please! Remember where we are.

  David Talbot : Remember? Darling how can I? I have amnesia.

  [kiss]
