Citazioni

Un affare di donne

Marie: It's easy to keep your hands clean when you're rich.

Marie: [sigh] It's been four months now. They want to punish me? Let them do it. And it's all men. How could men understand, anyway?

Marie: Lose a war and a man gets mean as a wounded bull.

Marie: And what do you do?
Lulu: Can't you tell I'm a hooker?
Marie: You don't say! I guess men must really look you over.
Lulu: That's what hookers are for.

Lulu: What's your name?
Marie: Marie.
Lulu: Mine's Lucie. But that's no name for a hooker, so I go by Lulu.

Marie: How much do you make a day?
Lulu: Depends on the customer. I look, then I decide. Krauts pay through the nose. I can't help it.
Marie: Some of them are handsome.
Lulu: True. But it's a matter of principle.
Marie: Is it true that some like to whip you?
Lulu: No more than the French. Men have always treated us like horses.

Marie: I had a friend... She was taken away. A jew.
Lulu: At least that can't happen to me. We're Normans. Nothing but hicks.
Marie: [laughs] Me too.

Marie: I'm not just a housewife.
Lulu: No offense, but you look like one.
Marie: Maybe, but I'm not what I seem to be. I even do things that are against the law.
Lulu: Like what, baby face?

Marie: I've been a slave since I was 14. And I don't see how it'll ever change.
Paul: Like most women.
Marie: I don't care about "most women". I can't take it anymore!

Marie: No more empty bellies here. We're in the clover.

Marie: [In bed] Why are you smiling?
Lucien: You're not the best ever, but I like your squirrel coat.
Marie: You could've said "fur".
Lucien: "Fur" and "jewels" are words I never say in front of women.

Marie: You're not a romantic.
Lucien: I'm a man.

Marie: Look after your sister, ducky. I've got to go.

Paul: We're occupied, you know! You may have fancy food and a lover, but there's still a war on.
Marie: I'm for the Resistance.
Paul: You idiot, you're not for anything!

Marie: And there's Pierrot. You too, ducky. Come dance with Mommy.

Marie: Do you think babies in their mother's belly have a soul?

Marie: I told the magistrate I wouldn't do it again. He said if I confessed, it'd go better for me.
[pause]
Marie: I want to become a singer.

Marie: If we ask for forgiveness, we may not go to hell.

Title Card: Have pity on the children of the condemned.

Marie: You handle a sword...
Lucien: Forcefully?
Marie: Yes, that's it.
Lucien: You're cute when you blush. All your freckles show. Are you ashamed?
Marie: Of what?
Lucien: Of your freckles. Of turning me on.

Marie: You got angel eyes.
