M. Fournier : How much did you win?
Jean Fournier : 500,000 in less than an hour. It's immoral, but no more than anything else. No more than poverty or ugliness.

M. Fournier : If I ever hear you're gambling, you can pack up and get out.
Jean Fournier : That's nice.

Jackie Demaistre : Doesn't it ever happen to you?
Jean Fournier : Actually, this is all new to me. I didn't think such a lifestyle existed anymore. Don't get me wrong. I mean, except in the movies or certain American novels.
Jackie Demaistre : What lifestyle?
Jean Fournier : This hotel, this terrace, this band. This opulence. And you.
Jackie Demaistre : Me? So I'm like an American novel?
Jackie Demaistre : A character in a novel, yes.
Jean Fournier : That's funny. I'd never thought about it.

Jean Fournier : You gamble to make money.
Jackie Demaistre : Not at all. I don't like money. You see what I do with it when I have it. If I loved money I wouldn't squander it. What I love about gambling is this idiotic life of luxury and poverty. And also the mystery - the mystery of numbers and chance. I've often wondered whether God rules over numbers.
