Quotes 

• Coral : Permit me to make an impossible wish?

  Julie Kohler : Why impossible?

  Coral : Because I'm a rather pessimist.

  Julie Kohler : I've heard it said: "There are no optimists or pessimists. There are only happy idiots or unhappy ones".

  Coral : [smiling]  Yes, well. I'm an unhappy idiot then.

• Coral : Where?

  Julie Kohler : Where? At your place?

  Coral : My place? But I'd never have dared propose it.

  Julie Kohler : Well, dare.

• La logeuse de Coral : Mr. Coral, what about your letter?

  Coral : I don't think it's for me.

  La logeuse de Coral : Yes, it is. It's for you.

  Coral : [comes back, looks at the letter]  That's right, it's for me. Mr. Coral, that's me.

• Coral : I was beginning to think you wouldn't come at all.

  Julie Kohler : You're sweet, but you know I was sure you would say something stupid.

  Coral : You're rather hard on me. But I don't mind much.

• Coral : You're here with me. It's a miracle. Till now, I've had little to do with women. I've been a very lonely soul. I'll confess something that I can't tell to a man. I'll bet I could count on the fingers of one hand, no, let's say both hands, the women I've had. And now my impossible dream of making you happy.

• Coral : I won't put a hand on you. You're my fairy princess. My impossible dream. I won't put a hand on you, but I wish you'd ask me to touch you. That way I'd know deep down I could have done it, if I'd wanted to.
