  • (José Ferrer) "The morning wind is cold, but not so cold as the waters of the Seine."
  • (Suzanne Flon) "You are mistaken, monsieur. I am not a candidate for the river."
  • (José Ferrer) "We are all candidates, when driven by the mania of love."
  • (José Ferrer) "Love is a state of confusion in which the victim can not distinguish between spiritual aspiration, carnal desire, and pride of ownership."
  • (José Ferrer) "Will you to the opera go with me tomorrow night, mademoiselle? While you make up your mind, let me remind you of the ladies of the Spanish court, who always kept their pet apes by their side so that they themselves would look more beautiful."
  • (Suzanne Flon) "Is your wit always turned against yourself, Monsieur Lautrec?"

  • (José Ferrer) "Big crowd tonight."
  • (Unnamed) "Too big, thanks to your poster. Oh, I know I'm making millions, but I liked the Moulin Rouge as she was, lighthearted and hot-blooded, a little strumpet who thought only of tonight. Now she is grown up and knowns better. She has money in her stocking, wears corsets, and never drinks a drop too much. Worst of all, she never sees her old friends anymore. She has gone into society. Last night she entertained a cabinet minister and his wife and daughter. It's disgusting."

  • (José Ferrer) "Forgive me, madame, the lady is not undressing, she is dressing. The gentleman happens to be her husband. They are celebrating their twenty-seventh wedding anniversary. They are going to have dinner with their oldest son. He is a taxidermist. I am appalled that you should thus malign these good people. It goes to prove what I have always maintained, that evil exists only in the eye of the beholder. I will thank you to stop looking at my pictures."

  • (José Ferrer) "For your sake, I pray that they are not padded."
  • (Zsa Zsa Gabor) "Myriamme, you are incorrigible. The first time you're out with a man and you tell him your father died of alcoholism. Anyway, whose father didn't ?"
