Quotes 

• Anne Lockwood : Let's make a little detour and see the beautiful cathedral there.

  Jacques Clement : Who are you and what have you done with my American friend, always in a hurry to get to Paris?

• Anne Lockwood : Michael and I have flown from the south of France to Paris, but we've never driven.

  Jacques Clement : Driving is the only way to see a country.

• Anne Lockwood : Honey, what are you working so hard for if your wife can't have a cheeseburger when she wants one?

  Michael Lockwood : Baby, I'd buy you a billion cheeseburgers, but you know how much I hate wasteful extravagance.

  Anne Lockwood : Ah, yes. Because your cufflinks were such a bargain.

• Jacques Clement : Anne, a deal offer is like a souffle. It's all about timing.

  Anne Lockwood : Yes, you don't want it to collapse.

• Jacques Clement : The chef here was famous for roast baby lamb. What looks good to you, Anne?

  Anne Lockwood : Oh, everything looks good. I can't decide.

  Jacques Clement : You don't have to.

• Jacques Clement : So I have good news. My friend got us a lunch reservation in Lyon at the restaurant with a new chef who's got outstanding reviews.

  Anne Lockwood : Jacques, that sounds wonderful, but I thought we'd be in Paris by now.

  Jacques Clement : Paris can wait.

• Anne Lockwood : You know, unlike smoking, there are studies that say that chocolate is good for you.

  Jacques Clement : You Americans always have to have a reason for everything. We eat what we enjoy.

• Jacques Clement : Are you nervous?

  Anne Lockwood : Maybe. A little bit. We've never actually been alone together.

  Jacques Clement : So you didn't believe me when I said I don't bite.

• Jacques Clement : [turns on the car stereo]  Ah! Mozart, we couldn't do better. So let's pretend we don't know where we're going or even who we are.

  Anne Lockwood : Ha-ha-ha. Oh, brother.

• Jacques Clement : Would you like a glass of wine?

  Anne Lockwood : No, no. No. No. Thank you. Yes! When in France.

  Jacques Clement : You'll like this wine, it's Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

  Anne Lockwood : Ooh. That's good!

  Jacques Clement : Merci. This wine goes well with your ham de Bayonne and melon.

• Jacques Clement : I know it's rude, but, Anne, I may have to take some calls.

  Anne Lockwood : It's okay. I'm used to it.

  Jacques Clement : You shouldn't be.

• Anne Lockwood : Jacques.

  Jacques Clement : Yeah?

  Anne Lockwood : I'm not French.

  Jacques Clement : Yes, that is correct.

• Jacques Clement : It's a great time for you now.

  Anne Lockwood : It is?

  Jacques Clement : Yes, of course. Qu'est-ce que vous fait rêver? What makes you dance in the street? You're beautiful. You're an interesting woman.

  Anne Lockwood : Oh, come on. I saw all the men in Cannes drooling over those young girls.

  Jacques Clement : Oh, come on. They're just pop-tarts. You, you're - you're chocolate creme brulee. Yes, that's you. Brulee.

• Anne Lockwood : Are you trying to get me drunk? That's naughty.

  Jacques Clement : Just drink what you feel like.

• Michael Lockwood : [on the phone]  I was thinking about you.

  Anne Lockwood : Yeah, what were you thinking?

  Michael Lockwood : About your sweet little ears.

• Anne Lockwood : Why do flowers smell so much better in France than they do in the us?

  Jacques Clement : Why? Because we're in France. In America they look lovely but they smell like a refrigerator.

• Anne Lockwood : Do you play "I spy"?

  Jacques Clement : Sounds dangerous.

  Anne Lockwood : It's a game I used to play with Alexandra on road trips. I spy something with four legs.

  Jacques Clement : I spy something with two lovely legs.

  Anne Lockwood : Come on. Game over.

  Jacques Clement : Not yet.

• Jacques Clement : Let's pretend we are in that Manet painting, "Le Dejeuner sur I'herbe".

  Anne Lockwood : Oh. Right.

• Anne Lockwood : Okay, Jacques. I've had enough detours. It's straight to Paris now, right?

• Anne Lockwood : When I see the first new moon, faint in the twilight, I think of the moth eyebrows, Of a girl I saw only once. A haiku.

  Jacques Clement : Nice. The changing of the moon reminds me that life and business have cycles. Sometimes full, and sometimes not.

  Anne Lockwood : Hmm. You seem to live as if it's always full.

• Anne Lockwood : Sometimes I think Michael married me for my pie.

• Jacques Clement : Let's pretend we are in that Renoir painting, "La danse à Bougival".

  Anne Lockwood : Okay.

• Jacques Clement : I am boring you.

  Anne Lockwood : No. No, no. I mean, yes. It's just a little intimidating, how much you know about wine.

  Jacques Clement : It's just knowing what you like. My happiest memories are around the table.
