- Georges Tabard: Do you speak English, Antoine?
- Antoine Doinel: I'm learning from records, but it's not easy.
- Georges Tabard: Records are a joke. There's only one way to learn: in bed with an English girl. It's time you learned. I learned with an Australian girl while her husband was at work painting houses.
- Fabienne Tabard: Like Hitler.
- Georges Tabard: Don't ever say Hitler was a housepainter. That's slander. Hitler painted landscapes.
- Le type qui suit Christine: When my grandfather died I was sad and my cousin cried like crazy. There was a big family dinner. Right after dessert, we went to the attic and I laid her on the floor. If anybody had found us, it would have seemed monstrous. Yet, to make love is a way of compensating for death, of proving that you exist.
