Quotes 

• Bliss : There's a mysterious lady who admires me in secret. It seems that some beautiful woman tried to enter my apartment and even offered Charlie the doorman a hundred-franc note.

  Corey : Which he refused, I suppose. I'd have let her in for half that. No, it must be a poor pregnant girl wanting an explanation.

• Corey : You know my motto, "Don't run after women. But don't let any get by." And I wanted to ask Gilberte to choose a maid of honor who won't be too - who will be kind of - you know what I mean.

  Bliss : It's about time you calm down. "When you've seen one, you've seen them all." You taught me that.

  Corey : But I want them all.

• Bliss : I wonder what she's doing now?

  Corey : With whom, you mean.

  Bliss : You're envious, you traitor. But you'll never make me doubt her. No, I'm sure she must be gazing tenderly at my photo.

  Corey : And I'll bet she's looking at her naked body in a mirror.

  Bliss : You're crazy.

  Corey : I'm sure of it. In every novel written by a woman, the heroine looks at herself naked in the mirror.

  Bliss : Gilberte's not in a book, though. What's the relation?

  Corey : Sexual relation.

• Bliss : You and your humor. You murder me.

• Bliss : Just listen to that. Terrific isn't it? Go back to the start. I taped Gilberte crossing her legs. She didn't know what I was up to. Listen to the sound of her stockings rubbing against each other. How do you like it? That's the sound of nylons. The first time I tried it Gilberte was wearing a pair of silk stockings. Result: nothing.

• Bliss : She wants something and she wants it bad.
