- Zouzou: Excuse me, sir? What are you doing?
- Masher: A beautiful lady like you should not be alone.
- [Zouzou resists his advances]
- Masher: Wild!
- Zouzou: [singing] For me there is only one man in Paris and it is him, For me there is only one man in Paris, Chasing all the girls, All are at his mercy, The undressing of this gaze, With his hands too, I do not do anything for him to love me, I make others happy, But he still remains mine, Because he is in my heart...
