Madame de Tourvel
- Valmont: You must be an exceptional woman.
- Madame de Tourvel: No, not exceptional. Why?
- Valmont: Love a husband, and he's never there.
- Madame de Tourvel: Do you married, Mr. Valmont?
- Valmont: No, I'm in love.
- Madame de Tourvel: You're in love?
- Valmont: Yes.
- Madame de Tourvel: Then why aren't you with her?
- Valmont: I am with her. I'm talking to her right now.
- Baroness: Are you hinting that I could be unfaithful to my husband?
- Valmont: Not now. But if you were alone...
- Madame de Tourvel: Monsier Valmont, you simply don't understand women.
- Baroness: You're right. Look, if a woman wants a little adventure, she doesn't need to be alone.
- [looking straight at her husband]
- Baroness: She can manage it perfectly well right under her husbands nose.
- Madame de Tourvel: This letter is from a close friend of mine. "All his life, Monsieur de Valmont has been and is a consummate master of the art of seduction. Hundreds of women, and I am not exaggerating Madame, have paid for it. He has charmed his countless victims designing his every gesture, every word, every smile in a cold-blooded scheme that has only one squalid end: to destroy the woman's honor." Is this true?
- Valmont: Who wrote that?
- Madame de Tourvel: Is it?
- [no response]
- Madame de Tourvel: Monsieur de Valmont, don't waste your time on me. I am not, and I never will be, one of those women.
- Valmont: I know that.
- Madame de Tourvel: So, why do you keep trying?
- Madame de Tourvel: Sometimes my friends tell me I'm naive.
- [clutches her chest]
- Madame de Tourvel: But, I'm not so silly that I don't see what you want.
- Valmont: Yes? What do I want?
- Madame de Tourvel: If you don't stop talking that way, we can't be friends.
- Madame de Tourvel: Monsieur de Valmont, I know some women might be weak, but, believe me, there are women who will always be true.
- Baron: Nonsense! A true woman is a contradiction in terms.
- Valmont: Not always. I believe that some women stay true. I find them fascinating.
- Mertuil: Men usually do.
- Madame de Tourvel: I've noticed that.
- Madame de Tourvel: I would never tell you what to do. But, please, go away. Please, please go away. I know I should be the one to leave. And I know it's my duty, but I haven't the strength. I can't go on like this. When I sit down, you sit next to me. When I speak, you answer. I blush in your company, and everybody sees it. But, then, when - when I am alone... oh... Please, go away. I beg you. Please. Please go.
- Valmont: Is that what you want?
- Madame de Tourvel: Do you want me to say - that I don't want you to leave? I can't say that. I can't!
- Madame de Tourvel: Don't move. I'll prepare something for you. I'll wait on you. I want to serve you.
- Madame de Tourvel: Sleep. Sleep on. Let me just stay here and look at you. Night after night, I had to close my eyes to see your face.
