Carnival of Sinners (1943)

Josseline Gaël: Irène

Quotes 

• Roland Brissot : What would you do?

  Irène : I wouldn't get married.

  Roland Brissot : You don't believe in marriage?

  Irène : Not for me. May I ask for your hand?

  Roland Brissot : What for?

  Irène : Don't worry, I'll give it back.

• Irène : It's embarrassing to be naked in front of all these people.

  Roland Brissot : Naked?

  Irène : In the painting.

• Roland Brissot : We leave tonight.

  Irène : What about my surprise? You promised me a party.

  Roland Brissot : I'd have loved to, but it's too late. Get ready.

  Irène : If I get undressed, we'll never leave.

• Irène : I'll take care of everything. Men don't know how to handle these things.

• Roland Brissot : You're right. You've opened my eyes. I had scruples, but now I've seen the light. Starting tomorrow, I'll do a huge painting of you that will be the talk of the Salon. A nude, obviously.

  Irène : I wasn't born yesterday. The Salon, with a detour to the bedroom. No, no. Too late... buddy. A month ago, it might've worked. I thought, "A painter. Why not? With his talent and my ambition, we'll really go places!"

  Roland Brissot : Exactly.

  Irène : I was wrong.

• Irène : Let me go. You're big enough to hurt me but too little to scare me.

  Roland Brissot : Too little?

  Irène : Yes! Little painter in a little studio, eating little meals and courting little women. When your little life's done, they'll put you in a little black box. Good-bye, little guy!

• Irène : Say something, don't just stand there like a lost soul.

• Roland Brissot : Why won't you marry me?

  Irène : Don't ask.

  Roland Brissot : You'd be everything to me: my wife, my mistress, my muse. Anyway, that's my idea.

  Irène : You're full of ideas.
