- Alexandre: If you must know, I like slender, rather tall girls.
- Lea: Blondes or brunettes?
- Alexandre: Brunettes. With smooth, light, slightly tanned skin. They really attract me. Especially when they have big eyes and silky lashes.
- Lea: Cut it out. You promised not to lay it on!
- Alexandre: I'm not laying it on! You asked what my type was! You're much closer than Adrienne to my ideal. You've always attracted me. But fate was against it.
- Lea: Fate! You control yours, don't be modest!
- Alexandre: You're wrong! I don't like to push. I'm no Romeo. The fact is, girls like me! It's given me bad habits. It can be a disadvantage. They seek me out, so I just relax. Means I don't always wind up with the best. If I like a girl, I'll meet her sooner or later... Better later then too soon. Take us... I'm glad I met you now, not 6 months ago. We're both available...
- Lea: Stop it! What's available mean? And I don't like your kind of guy. I like to be wooed!
- Alexandre: You were with Fabien!
- Lea: You should have been insanely jealous.
- Alexandre: Who says I wasn't?
- Lea: Actions talk! You should've done something wild!
- Alexandre: Let's run away. I'll kidnap you!
- Lea: That's not so wild. And I said no!
- Alexandre: I heard yes.
- Lea: It meant no.
- Alexandre: I'll think of something wilder... Come live with me! You've even got your bags! My place's too big for me alone.
- Lea: When you're alone!
- Alexandre: I'm alone now.
- Lea: I'm going to my folks'. They're expecting me.
- Alexandre: Call them back!
- Lea: They're asleep.
- Alexandre: So they're not waiting up!
- Lea: I might move in with you, but not now. We've known each other 6 months, so wait 6 more months. During that period, you mustn't date anyone else. Then maybe I'll let myself be wooed!
- Alexandre: I accept. But you mustn't date anyone, either.
- Lea: That suits me fine!
- Alexandre: 6 months is a bit long. How about 6 days?
- Adrienne: It's funny, I can't see you a bureaucrat. That's what you are though. You should be in the arts. You never wanted to paint, or write?
- Blanche: I've no talent. Even if I did... I'm not sure I'd want to do it for a living. Art for me is pure pleasure. Contemplating... it is enough.
- Adrienne: I can understand that. It's just that... In your office, they're all bureaucrats, Real ones! It's a bad environment. All they think about is rank... climbing the ladder... spending their lives... stepping over people. They don't even think about work... much less love! I know what I'm talking about!
