Alphonse Ethier: Assistant Prefect

Quotes 

• Assistant Prefect : Here's the American journalist you sent for.

  Reagan, the American Reporter : [to Assistant]  Hiya, kid.

  [to Rosset] 

  Reagan, the American Reporter : Hello, chief.

  Prefect Rosset : Ah, Monsieur Regan. You're the gentleman who's going to cover this execution?

  Reagan, the American Reporter : Yeah, I wish they'd cover it so I can't see it. You know I got a weak stomach.

  Prefect Rosset : This Rollo is an American.

  Reagan, the American Reporter : Yes, that's why it'd make a good story for our paper.

  Prefect Rosset : The fact is we're anxious to avoid undue sensationalism in the American papers.

  Reagan, the American Reporter : Oh, I know what you mean. I'll use a soft pencil.

  Prefect Rosset : Thank you. And if as you say your nerves are a little weak, I suggest you bring a flask of cognac.

  Reagan, the American Reporter : Nah, gin, chief. Gin for executions, beer for birthdays, wine for weddings, and champagne...

  [kisses fingertips] 

  Reagan, the American Reporter : oh ho, champagne!

  Prefect Rosset : For what?

  Reagan, the American Reporter : You ask that and you're a Frenchman?
