Lindo : Just look at us: everybody else has gone home, free for the summer. And we're still stuck in our uniforms!
Claude : Rule 11: Uniforms must be worn at all times, so it says.
Marion : Rules, rules, rules! It's a rule to wake up in the morning, it's a rule to gargle after you brush your teeth...
Claude : It's also a rule not to talk back to your teacher. They think they can keep students under control with their rules.

Claude : Do you know the myth of Leda and the Swan? Zeus turned himself into a swan, and seduced Leda. And she gave birth to two eggs.
Jacques : So, Leda and the Swan had sex.
Claude : I wonder, what sort of man becomes a swan?
Lindo : Did you put this up hoping to be that sort of man?
Claude : [looks at Marion] I feel as though I never will be...
Lindo : Don't get so serious, sex is only a reproductive act. You don't need love to have sex, it's just a natural physical need.
Jacques : It's no different from eating or drinking!
Marion : Stop it!
[walks out]
Jacques : Damn, he always runs away when we talk about this...
Lindo : He's slow in that aspect.
Claude : But have any of you ever been with a woman?
