Floorwalker : Bon jour, monsieur. Is there something I could show you?
Michael Brandon : Pajamas.
Floorwalker : Will you be so good as to step this way. May I call your attention to the fact that we are featuring a special sale at reduced prices of raincoats, umbrellas, tennis rackets and portable phonographs.
Michael Brandon : I want some pajamas.
-
Floorwalker : May I interest, Monsieur, in a new man's perfume? In these days of greater equality between the sexes, perfume should not be the privilege of ladies only. It is the contention of our management that the man who smells is a thing of the future.
Michael Brandon : You ought to go a long way.

Nicole de Loiselle : Take a long word like, eh, Czechoslovakia, for instance, and you spell it backwards.
Michael Brandon : I can't even spell it forward.

Michael Brandon : Who is she?
Floorwalker : The story writes itself, doesn't it?
Michael Brandon : What do you mean?
Floorwalker : Well, a beautiful lady buys a pair of pajamas for a gentleman. She has no husband, she has no brother. Voila!
Michael Brandon : Woila, what?
Floorwalker : A lady in love.
Michael Brandon : Eh! You Frenchmen always think the worst. Maybe it was for an uncle?
Floorwalker : Oh, no, Monsieur. For an uncle you buy a pipe.
-
Michael Brandon : The girl who bought those pants is...
The Marquis De Loiselle : My daughter.
Michael Brandon : Is she married?
The Marquis De Loiselle : No.
Michael Brandon : Engaged?
The Marquis De Loiselle : No.
Michael Brandon : In love with any one?
The Marquis De Loiselle : No, no, no.
Michael Brandon : I'll buy the bath tub.
-
Nicole de Loiselle : You seem to be a man full of innuendos.
Michael Brandon : I just try to make myself clear.
-
Michael Brandon : I act on the spur of the moment! I act on impulse!
Nicole de Loiselle : Now, Mr. Brandon, don't be too spontaneous.
-
Nicole de Loiselle : Never say to an Archduke, "Hey, Archie."
Michael Brandon : You just give me time, I'll learn.
-
Nicole de Loiselle : Make up your mind, Michael. Think fast! If you wait much longer it'll be a $150,000. My price goes up every minute.
Michael Brandon : Well, Nicole, you got me on the spot. I'm so crazy about you...
The Marquis De Loiselle : Don't rush, my boy, take your time.
Michael Brandon : It's a deal.
The Marquis De Loiselle : It's a bargain.
Aunt Hedwige : It's a scandal!
-
Nicole de Loiselle : Here's to our agreement. No lovemaking. No quarrels.
Michael Brandon : Just like an ordinary married couple.
Nicole de Loiselle : I said no quarrels.
-
Michael Brandon : Now, look here, Nichole, I married you...
Nicole de Loiselle : No, you didn't. You bought me.
Michael Brandon : Well, then, fulfill your contract!
-
Michael Brandon : You think I'm pretty much of a fool, don't you.
Nicole de Loiselle : Yes!
-
Michael Brandon : Well, Nicole, you win.
Nicole de Loiselle : Someone had to win.
Michael Brandon : I've got to hand it to you. You're the first person that ever licked me.
-
Michael Brandon : Stop tickling my face!
Nicole de Loiselle : That's not tickling, that's caressing.
Michael Brandon : Then, don't caress me!
Nicole de Loiselle : Well then, don't pay any attention to it.
-
Michael Brandon : Stop caressing me!
Nicole de Loiselle : No, that's tickling, now. You're so mixed up in your emotions, darling.
[kiss]
Michael Brandon : Wait till I get out of this straightjacket. What I'll do to you!
Nicole de Loiselle : Oh, I can hardly wait, Michael! Michael, Michael, Michael.
-
Michael Brandon : This pajama business is a racket and I don't fall for it! Ninety percent of the male population don't sleep in pajama pants, don't want pajama pants; yet, buy pajama pants.
-
Nicole de Loiselle : When I was standing at the end of the counter, I was watching you.
Michael Brandon : You were?
Nicole de Loiselle : Oh, I hope you don't mind.
Michael Brandon : Not a bit.
Nicole de Loiselle : Well, I said to myself, now, if I had to select pajamas for that gentlemen, what would I choose? And let me tell you, if ever there was a stripy-type, it's you! Why don't you try it on?
-
The Marquis De Loiselle : Mr. Brandon, if you won't finance my business project, would you be interested in buying a bath tub?
Michael Brandon : A what?
The Marquis De Loiselle : I have in my possession one of the glories of France: the one and only bath tub of Louis XIV.
Michael Brandon : Sorry, I use a shower.
-
Michael Brandon : I hate overtures. Lovemaking is the red tape of marriage. It doesn't get you anywhere. I could take you out for three months and send you flowers and all that flap doodle and wouldn't know any more about you than I do right now.
-
Michael Brandon : Love and business is just the same. You have to gamble. You have to take chances.
-
Michael Brandon : I want some books. I'd say about a, uh, half a dozen.
Book Salesman : What sort, Monsieur? Fiction? We have some very exciting new detective stories.
Michael Brandon : No, no. Nothing like that. I want something to quiet me down. Something to put me to sleep.
Book Salesman : Something to put you to sleep? Oh, what you want are the classics.
Nicole de Loiselle : Yes, and put in one volume of poetry, in case you need a quick nap. There's nothing like blank verse right after lunch.
-
Michael Brandon : [after reading "Taming of the Shrew", marches into Nichole's room, smiles, takes Nicole across his knee, starts spanking her behind] Shakespeare!
Nicole de Loiselle : Oh! Oh, Michael! Michael, don't do that! Stop it! Ow!
-
Nicole de Loiselle : What are the plans for tonight?
Michael Brandon : Well, first I thought we'd have a little dinner here and then the choice is yours. I have tickets for the Russian ballet and tickets for the prizefight. It's absolutely up to you.
-
Michael Brandon : [singing] Lookie, lookie, lookie, Here comes cookie, walking down the street, Lookie, lookie, lookie, I call her cookie, cause she's sweet.
-
Michael Brandon : [singing] Lookie, lookie, lookie, I call her cookie, cause she takes the cake.
Nicole de Loiselle : Oh, the department store, that's where I met you.
Michael Brandon : Yes! You called me the stripy-type.
Nicole de Loiselle : Oh and I meant every stripe of it! Oh, I could have taken you in my arms and kissed you right then and there.
Michael Brandon : [singing] Lookie, lookie, lookie, Here comes cookie...
-
Nicole de Loiselle : [laughing] Oh, no, Michael. No, no, Michael, no. You promised me, Michael. No, no, you promised. No! No. No, Michael! No, let me go. No, Michael.
Michael Brandon : You don't want me to. You're just pretending.
Nicole de Loiselle : No, Michael, between you and me there's a whole world of seven wives.
Michael Brandon : Stop being jealous. I'll tell you, I've forgotten they exist!
Nicole de Loiselle : Oh, that's just it! You will buy wives just like - like shirts. And after you've worn them, you toss them away!
Michael Brandon : Don't talk yourself into a laundry complex. Nichole!
[kiss]
Nicole de Loiselle : No, Micheal. No, Michael. Don't do that, Michael.
Michael Brandon : Oh, Nicole, be sensible. I mean, don't be sensible. Don't hide your emotions.
Nicole de Loiselle : Oh, Michael.
-
Michael Brandon : [to the Marquis] I only have to look at your pants to know everything.
-
Nicole de Loiselle : Michael!
Michael Brandon : Shut up!
