Lebensabend

Raphaël Saint-Clair: Some nights you're a better assassin than others. Tonight was perfect. In the front row, there was a little maid watching me. You bet she didn't give a damn about Monsieur Alexandre Dumas. She didn't have ears, she only had eyes. Eyes for that handsome Saint-Clair.

Ernest Cabrissade: To be reasonable is to be resigned. To be resigned is to be old.

Ernest Cabrissade: My dear Chabert, without wanting to make your salt-and-pepper hair blush, if I'd had to kill my rival every time I've been cuckolded, France would be a necropolis.

Ernest Cabrissade: Ah! It's so nice to have kids!
Ernest Cabrissade: Yes but that's a lot of trouble!
Ernest Cabrissade: Having children is a lot of trouble, and not having them is a lot of regret.

Jeannette: I hope you don't mind my mending?
Marny: You know you're the only one who doesn't bore me.
Jeannette: And yet I never find anything to tell you.
Marny: One doesn't always have to talk. I feel you close to me and that consoles me.
Jeannette: About what?
Marny: About life.
Jeannette: Just looking at me?
Marny: Because you're unsophisticated. Because love hasn't put lipstick on you yet.

Marny: I played unobtrusively and by playing unobtrusively, I disappeared... without leaving any address.

Ernest Cabrissade: If I didn't invent memories, I wouldn't have any. I'm not asking you to believe me, I'm asking you to listen to me.

Jeannette: Every time I tell you something, it reminds you of a woman.
Raphaël Saint-Clair: If I were you, I'd find it flattering to evoke so many seductive creatures. Your eyes, a Russian princess. Your mouth, a diplomat's wife who ruined herself for me. Your legs, a dancer. And the whole thing, a delicious woman who killed herself.
Jeannette: Because of you?
Raphaël Saint-Clair: No, not because of me, for me.
Jeannette: And you say it just like that!
Raphaël Saint-Clair: My child, death scares small annuitants, but it attracts those who are moved by passion.
