- Laure Ash: You know why no good deed goes unpunished? Because this world is hell and you're nothing but a fucking patsy.
- Nicolas Bardo: I'm sorry... You look so familiar. Haven't we met before, somewhere?
- Laure Ash: Only in my dreams.
- Black Tie: I thought about her every fucking second... of every fucking minute... for seven fucking years!
- Laure Ash: [re bar acquaintance Napoleon] He was gonna save me from taking a dip in the Seine.
- Nicolas Bardo: What?
- Laure Ash: *We* had big plans. I was gonna go off the bridge into his boat. Big plans!
- [imitating what people would say:]
- Laure Ash: "Oh, poor Lily! What happened to her? She must have drowned and washed out to sea." Thanks a lot.
- Laure Ash: [to Nicolas] Maybe Napoleon and I can sail off into the sunset and you can go fuck yourself!
- Laure Ash: [aiming revolver] Do I pull the trigger or do you get your ass on the plane - and have a wonderful life?
- French cop: The American ambassador beats his wife?
- Nicolas Bardo: Yes, that's right. And she has the face to prove it.
- Laure Ash: [whispering to the young woman in the ladies' restroom] With an ass like that, I don't think you need makeup.
- Laure Ash: I'm not going to need these in the bath.
- [strips off her formal attire]
- Nicolas Bardo: Hey! Wait, wait, wait.
- [comes in]
- Nicolas Bardo: Hold it, hold it, wait.
- Laure Ash: I'm definitely not going anywhere without them.
- [is done to her pristine white lingerie]
- Nicolas Bardo: [as Laure lowers her slip] Ooh... Are - are you flirting with me?
- Laure Ash: [looks down at her scantily-clad body] Was I?
- Nicolas Bardo: Well,
- [nods]
- Nicolas Bardo: I believe so, yeah.
- Laure Ash: I didn't mean to.
