French Kiss (1995)

Laurent Spielvogel: Concierge

Quotes 

• Kate : Do you speak English?

  Concierge : Of course, Madam. This is the Georges V, not some backpacker's hovel.

• Kate : Hi there. C'est moi.

  Concierge : [coolly]  Welcome back, Madame, to the Georges V.

  Kate : Huh... it's incredible how you do that. The words come out - "Welcome back" - but the meaning is completely different. What's the deal, is that a French thing or a concierge thing?

  Concierge : As Madame wishes.

  Kate : You did it again. Tell me something, because I just... I don't get it. Do you enjoy being that rude? Because when you do that, it just gets underneath my skin, and it makes me... completely... INSANE!

• Concierge : Thank you, Madame, for that fascinating lesson in our cultural differences. I'm sure it would not betray my duty as concierge to inform you that your fiance and his "friend" are no longer our guests.

  Kate : Well, whose guests would they be now?

  [the Concierge hesitates. Kate raises her hand over the bell, and the Concierge snatches it off the desk, becoming all politeness and helpfulness] 

  Concierge : The Carleton Hotel will have that privilege when they arrive in Cannes this evening. If Madam wishes to catch the last train out of Paris, it will be departing from the station in one hour. I could arrange for a taxi very quickly, Madame.

  Kate : [sweetly]  Yes, thank you.
