Quotes 

• Col. Sharky : I will be forced to shoot you.

  Claudine : Who's forcing you?

• Inspector Jacques Clouseau : [at Lytton Manor in Nice, while working undercover as a telephone repairman, Clouseau has already annihilated the Lyttons' doorbell!]  ... I am from the Nice Telephone Company; there is some trouble with your phone.

  Mac : ...I don't think there's any trouble with the telephones here.

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : I know when there is a trouble, and when there is not a trouble, and you may rest assured that there is a trouble.

  Mac : Since when?

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : Since it was reported.

  Mac : By whom? And what sort of trouble is it?

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : If I knew that, I could simply call you up and tell you what the trouble with your telephone is!

  Claudine : Well... Whatever the trouble is, I hope you locate it.

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : Madame, it is my business to locate trouble...

  [He misses the door to the study, crashing headlong into the wall; being Clouseau, he isn't even fazed] 

  Inspector Jacques Clouseau : ...Er, no trouble back there!

• Claudine : I was prepared to surrender my body to Clouseau, if it was necessary.

• Sir Charles Lytton : [pretending to be room service]  Bonjour, madame. Breakfast. Voila.

  Claudine : [half asleep on the bed, with her back towards Sir Charles]  Leave it over there. I'll sign for it later.

  Sir Charles Lytton : [lies down in the bed]  How about a little tip?

  Claudine : [shocked, turns around]  Charles, darling!

  [kiss] 

  Claudine : Mmm. Mmm.

  Sir Charles Lytton : All right, all right. Now, where is it?

  Claudine : After all these years you need to ask?

  Sir Charles Lytton : I'm quite serious.

  Claudine : Oh, I hope so. You hotel waiters lead such interesting lives.

  [kiss] 

  Sir Charles Lytton : No, no, no, no. Not now, darling. Not now, please. Now, where is it? Hmm?

  Claudine : That depends on what you're looking for.

  [kiss] 

  Sir Charles Lytton : Now, come on, Claudine, please! Now, now where is it? I'm losing patience.

  Claudine : I should ask the hotel to send up another waiter.

• Clouseau : I do a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

  Claudine : A man of mystery.

  Clouseau : One might say that, yes. I would of course tell you more, but it would be safer for you if I did not.

• Claudine : I'm Lady Litton.

  Clouseau : Yes, I know. I took the liberty of finding out. I hope you are not offended.

  Claudine : That depends on your intentions.

  Clouseau : Strictly honorable, I can assure you. A man sees a beautiful chick, and he can't help but be inquisitive, you know. Would you think it naughty of me if I offered to buy you a drink?

  Claudine : But you already have.

  Clouseau : I knew that. How about I buy myself one and we drink it together, huh?

• Clouseau : There is no need to leave - on my account.

  Claudine : There's need to leave on my account.

• Sir Charles Lytton : You nearly had me killed, you know.

  Claudine : It's better than dying of boredom.

  Sir Charles Lytton : Me, bored with you?

  Claudine : I'm sorry, darling. It's just that I never realized how tedious life could be for a retired jewel thief.

• Claudine : How did you find out so quickly?

  Sir Charles Lytton : Feminine intuition.

• Claudine : You're all wet!

  Clouseau : There was a defect in my plumbing.
