Quotes
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : I have to admit, I've taken a liking to you, Miss Dora Monier.
Dora Monier : Me?
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : Because I have to say, you're just my type. When it comes to women, we'll never have a chance.
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : We move in all kinds of circles, meet a lot of people. I learned engraving from a counterfeiter, accounting from a swindler. A taxi dancer tried to teach me the tango, but nothing doing. It wasn't up my alley.
-
Dora Monier : I wasn't his type. Brignon was a bourgeois, very shy. I'm too off-putting. He needed these young girls he could dominate.
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : A dirty old man.
Dora Monier : Yes.
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : So you admit having taken these photos?
Dora Monier : Why not? Aren't nude photos still legal?
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : It depends which ones. But that's Vice business. I'm only interested in the models.
Dora Monier : Unfortunately, I don't know them. He picked them up everywhere. They came in all shades and sizes.
-
Violette : Ah, he's such a nice man. Not like Fernand.
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : Fernand?
Violette : My boyfriend. He can be so rude.
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : Great. Who cares?
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : I do some Sunday photography. Nothing exciting. I shoot houses, old shops, small streets. Barnivel got me hooked.
Dora Monier : Barnivel?
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : You don't remember him? A great old guy. Unfortunately, he had this thing about poisoning people. He wiped out his whole family. His wife, two daughters, his brother-in-law. He photographed them on their deathbed. A real artist.
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : What were you doing there? Were you Brignon's mistress or merry Maurice's?
Dora Monier : Why not both at once?
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : Don't play the saint. I know your kind. You're a go-getter.
Jenny Lamour : A go-getter? What's that supposed to mean? You poor man. I was born in the dead of winter in a two-room flat. Six of us lived there for 12 years. Twelve years of the landlord yelling for the rent. Stomach-aches because of bad meat. Washing ourselves in the sink. It took my dad six years to die in the back room. Is wanting to leave that go-getting?
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : Of course.
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : You're a no-nonsense lady. Not the kind for a fling.
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : Albert! You got nailed?
L'inspecteur qui arrête Albert : Like a dope. In a raid.
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : I warned you about staying in Pigalle.
Albert : I ain't in the clink yet.
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : You really care for your friend.
Dora Monier : For better or worse. I love her.
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : I know.
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : A sordid business.
Le commissaire principal de la P.J. : It usually is.
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : You get excited, all geared up...
Le commissaire principal de la P.J. : You expect a good case...
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : And it boils down to the usual. Diddly-squat.
-
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : They remind me of my negroes in the Legion. The tom-toms.
