- Dr. Andre Tessier: I always turn to this book. Older than all the others - by thousands of years. Ah, here we are. Proverbs, twenty-third chapter, seventh verse, "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." "As a man thinketh in his heart." That's all that matters. Solomon was a very wise man, David. Even if he did have a thousand wives.
- David Talbot: That's just it, Andre. I have only one.
- Lucienne Talbot: Forgive me, Monsieur, but I had to ask you one more question. If a girl fell in - I mean, if a girl were to be attracted by a nice young diplomat and wanted to go home with him, would the Foreign Office approve?
- Lucienne Talbot: Thank you, but what does it mean?
- David Talbot: Why, that's Portuguese. That means you're lovely, you're beautiful, you're exquisite, you give me vertigo, and I adore you. That's a rough translation, of course.
- Lucienne Talbot: Well, not so very rough.
- Lucienne Talbot: Monsieur, you mentioned that the private life of a diplomat must be above reproach. Does that mean that he must be beyond certain normal instincts?
- David Talbot: If, eh, if the following of those instincts were opposed to the good of his country, the diplomat would, I think, be expected to ignore them.
- David Talbot: You made me feel like a... comedian with a stooge in the audience.
- Lucienne Talbot: Darling, I am your stooge. That's what a wife is for.
- David Talbot: That's your opinion.
- [kiss]
- Lucienne Talbot: We've been trying to look you up, but you're not in the phone book.
- Henri Sarrou: I wish you had found me, Madame. Paris is the wrong city in which to be alone.
- Lucienne Talbot: It is, indeed.
- Lucienne Talbot: Some tea, darling? I think the water is still hot.
- David Talbot: Thanks, dear. I think I'll have a little cognac.
- Lucienne Talbot: A busy day, darling?
- David Talbot: Yes, rather.
- Lucienne Talbot: Aw, you don't remember.
- David Talbot: Yes, I do. Now, wait. Yes! That funny little restaurant in the mountains in the back of Cannes. Saint Paul.
- Lucienne Talbot: That's right. Remember the old man with the violin?
- David Talbot: Sure. He was a Hungarian. I thought he was going to put your eye out with his bow. He was getting so close to you.
- Lucienne Talbot: You were jealous, that's all.
- David Talbot: Yeah, I was.
- David Talbot: I'll give you 50,000 Francs, and that'll be the end of it.
- Michelle Allaine: 50,000? Oh, no, no, cheri. You're talking about cabbage. We want caviar.
- Lucienne Talbot: [Last lines]
- [David leans in for a kiss]
- Lucienne Talbot: Darling, please! Remember where we are.
- David Talbot: Remember? Darling, how can I? I have amnesia.
- [kiss]
- Commissaire: Do you swear to speak without hate and without fear to give the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
- Dr. Andre Tessier: I do. I don't hate anybody.
