Jean Reno: Inspector Jean-Paul Cardon

Quotes 

• Inspector Jean-Paul Cardon : [on Luc]  I need to ask him over a little matter of a necklace.

  Kate : [fakes a laugh]  Oh, the necklace. He didn't declare it at the airport, did he? Will he have to pay a big duty?

  [Jean-Paul looks at her impassively. Her smile fades, and she becomes serious] 

  Kate : Why don't you just arrest him?

  Inspector Jean-Paul Cardon : I'm old-fashioned. I owe him a debt greater than one of money.

• Inspector Jean-Paul Cardon : I must come to Canada someday. You are a very sympathetic people.

  Kate : Well, actually, I'm not really a Canadian. In fact, I'm... currently without country.

• Inspector Jean-Paul Cardon : [watching Charlie and Juliette]  Ah, l'amour. C'est merveilleux.

• [in French]

  Inspector Jean-Paul Cardon : Yes, it's true. Look, you see this scar?

  [points to his neck]
