Quotes
-
Raymonde : Atmosphere! Atmosphere! Do I look like an atmosphere?
-
Raymonde : How does my kisser look?

Raymonde : He always has it all figured out. A perfect traveling partner, so unlike his usual self. He's so kind and thoughtful. He buys oranges and peels them for you. Lights your cigarette himself. A perfect gentleman. He tells you the history of all the places. "Here Big Charles did his big heist." "This is ex-con land." "Here Alphonse bumped off Déde." What a geographer! The closer we get to the sea, the tenderer he becomes. The way he behaves on a train, he makes third class feel like first class.
Jeanne : You often travel together?
Raymonde : It's the first time.
-
Raymonde : Why do you have a crush on her? Aren't we happy?
Monsieur Edmond : No.
Raymonde : Are you sure?
Monsieur Edmond : Yes!
Raymonde : Don't you like our life?
Monsieur Edmond : Do you?
Raymonde : I have to. I got used to it. Despite my black eye, you're a good fella. We may quarrel, but we get along fine when we hit the sheets.
Monsieur Edmond : I'm sick of it. I feel suffocated. You get it? Suffocated.
-
Raymonde : You claim to be what you aren't and brag of what you've been.

Raymonde : Renée double-crossed me. The tart! He fell like a ripe plum.
