Comte de Reynaud
- Comte de Reynaud: Rumor has it you are harbouring Madame Muscat. Is that true?
- Vianne: You make her sound like a fugitive.
- Comte de Reynaud: She *is* a fugitive. From her marriage vows, which have been sanctified by God.
- Vianne: Josephine? Come out here a minute. Let His Radiance have a look at you, hm?
- [shows the Comte the ugly bruise on Josephine's forehead]
- Vianne: Is that sanctified enough for you? It's not the first time.
- Comte de Reynaud: I am truly sorry. You should have come to me. Your husband will be made to repent for this.
- Josephine Muscat: Tell him to repent on someone else's head.
- [Père Henri is singing "Hound Dog" while sweeping snow from the courtyard]
- Comte de Reynaud: A new addition to the liturgy?
- Comte de Reynaud: Let me try to put this into perspective for you. The first Comte de Reynaud expelled all the radical Huguenots in this village. You and your truffles present a far lesser challenge.
- Francoise Drou: How is the Comtesse enjoying Italy?
- Comte de Reynaud: She may be extending her trip.
- Francoise Drou: Ah... Very nice.
- Francoise Drou: Bonjour monsieur le Comte.
- Comte de Reynaud: I wish all my tenants were as reliable as you, madame Drou.
- Francoise Drou: How is the Comtesse enjoying Italy?
- Comte de Reynaud: She may be extending her trip.
- Francoise Drou: Ah... Very nice...
- Caroline Clairmont: I suppose it can't be easy, having her gone.
- Comte de Reynaud: I can't seem to get used to it, no matter how much time...
- [forced cheerfulness]
- Comte de Reynaud: But, I look forward to her return.
- Caroline Clairmont: [gently] I don't believe anyone would think less of you if you were to say she was never coming back.
- Comte de Reynaud: [forcing Serge into the confessional] He is ready.
- Pere Henri: But confession must be made in the spirit of contrition.
- Comte de Reynaud: [pulling open the curtain] You, have you come in the spirit of contrition?
- Serge Muscat: Contrition... yes contrition,
- Comte de Reynaud: [shutting curtain] He is ready.
- Comte de Reynaud: Shameless, isn't it? The sheer nerve of the woman. Opening a chocolaterie just in time for Lent. The woman is brazen!
