Roger Vital : He's not a bad guy. Just a womanizer, pretentious, not so smart and spineless as they come. His only real flaw is that he is a hypocrite.
Agnès Dumont : How awful!
Roger Vital : No. No. He's not the worst there is. He hasn't murdered anyone. At least, not yet.

Agnès Dumont : You never believed me?
Daniel Roy : No. But, I love liars, especially ones with noses as cute as yours.

Daniel Roy : Describe the man of your dreams.
Agnès Dumont : Dark-haired, nonchalant, a bit rude, not too handsome, and charming.

Martine : Until you show your breasts, it's not hard. Then you just try to think about something else.
Agnès Dumont : I'll try.
Martine : At least a striptease is honest. You're paid to show your backside, they pay to see it. Everyone's happy. No hypocrisy.

Agnès Dumont : [Masked and pretending to be an Italian, Sophia] Get out!

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 : Stop right there. Stop right there.
Agnès Dumont : Perché?

Daniel Roy : I never said that.
Agnès Dumont : Grazie.

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 : [Repeated line] Choose: Me or the government!

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.

Sophia : To another girl? Who?
Agnès Dumont : Me!
Sophia : Ma va tutto bene allora!
Agnès Dumont : No, it's not.
Sophia : I don't understand.

Sophia : Wait. I'm Sophia.
Agnès Dumont : No, I am!
Sophia : Since when?
Agnès Dumont : Two days ago.
Sophia : Who are you right now?
Agnès Dumont : I don't know. I'm so miserable.
