Daniel Roy : After what I've seen, I couldn't.
Agnès Dumont : I call-a the manager!
Daniel Roy : It's the only way to get rid of me.
Agnès Dumont : I slap-a you!
Daniel Roy : Slap me, bite me, tear me to bits. My broken body will shout, "You're beautiful!"

Daniel Roy : Stop right there. Stop right there.
Agnès Dumont : Perché?
Daniel Roy : You're in front of the light, and your robe is transparent.
Agnès Dumont : What you-a want from me? You love-a me?
Daniel Roy : I never said that.
Agnès Dumont : Grazie.
[Daniel tries to take off "Sophia"'s mask]
Agnès Dumont : Momento. What if you-a disappointed without the mask?
Daniel Roy : Something tells me I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Agnès Dumont : Something tells me you-a rotten bastardo!
-
Daniel Roy : Give me the details. I don't know what came over me. The curves on that girl!
Roger Vital : What about Agnès?
Daniel Roy : That's totally different.
Roger Vital : You're unbelievable! You want all them - Agnès, Sophia, Magali...
-
Daniel Roy : I was afraid you wouldn't find it.
Agnès Dumont : I might not be Parisian, but I'm not stupid.
-
Agnès Dumont : What's Sophia like?
Daniel Roy : Beautiful.
Agnès Dumont : You're in love with her?
Daniel Roy : No, with you.
Agnès Dumont : Why were you in her dressing room?
Daniel Roy : Don't be silly. I'm not a kid. When I say I love you, I mean it. I saw that girl and desired her. These things happen.
Agnès Dumont : How convenient. I love you, but I desire another. So go to her! Good-bye!
-
Agnès Dumont : Leave me alone!
Daniel Roy : I'll take you home.
Agnès Dumont : I don't have one! My brother doesn't have room for me.
Daniel Roy : Then sleep in my bed.
Agnès Dumont : Never!
-
Daniel Roy : I'll lend you some pajamas.
Agnès Dumont : I have a confession to make, but, it's not easy.
Daniel Roy : Your father is not a general?
Agnès Dumont : He is. It's about Sophia. How sweet of you to give her up.
Daniel Roy : Sweet? No way. I've had tons of girls like that. In the morning, I don't know how to get rid of them.
Agnès Dumont : Maybe it'd be different with Sophia.
Daniel Roy : A girl who strips for an audience could never be truthful.
-
Agnès Dumont : Stay.
Daniel Roy : If I stay, you know what will happen.
Agnès Dumont : Yes, darling. Stay.
Daniel Roy : No.
Agnès Dumont : If Sophia asked, you'd stay.
Daniel Roy : Yes. Yes, with her I would. But you, I respect you. First time that happened. Amazed? Not as much as me.
[Daniel leaves]
Agnès Dumont : Gosh dang it! What's she have that I don't?
-
Daniel Roy : A strip-teasing duchess?
Roger Vital : Those bluebloods will do anything for kicks.
-
Daniel Roy : I can't go to Vichy.
La secrétaire : Why not?
Daniel Roy : Because I'm going to Vichy.
La secrétaire : You can't go because you're going? Call an ambulance.
Daniel Roy : I'm going to Vichy to ask the general for Agnes's hand.
La secrétaire : So?
Daniel Roy : I can't be chasing after naked ladies!
-
Roger Vital : You'll make tomorrow's front page, worldwide!
Sophia : I'm not *that* Sophia. I'm the other one.
Daniel Roy : Two Sophias?
-
Roger Vital : It hurts when you treat me like an idiot.
Daniel Roy : You are an idiot.
-
Hubert Dumont : It's all Sophia's fault.
Daniel Roy : Is she a friend of yours? Hello. I'm Daniel Roy.
Hubert Dumont : I'm incognito. Bing-bang!
-
Daniel Roy : I compared you to that little dope. With your arms, your hips, your legs, who could refuse a girl like you? So here I am!
