Quotes 

• Marie Charlet : A bathtub! Why, you have a bathtub! Oh, let me have a bath. Please...

  Henri : If you like.

  Marie Charlet : It will be the first time I ever had a bath - in a real bath tub, that is.

• Marie Charlet : You have beautiful eyes - without those spectacles.

  Henri : It's the first time I was ever told that by a policeman.

• Marie Charlet : What was it that policeman called you? Monsieur Toulouse something?

  Henri : Yes.

  Marie Charlet : What kind of a name is that?

  Henri : My own.

  Marie Charlet : It isn't a name, it's a town! People don't go about calling themselves Paris or Marseilles, do they?

• Marie Charlet : Didn't waste anytime getting into bed, did you. What's a matter? Afraid I'd see your legs?

  Henri : Get out! Get out! Put your clothes back on and get out of here.

  Marie Charlet : Stop shouting! You want to wake everybody in the house? I don't care about your legs. It makes no difference to me that you are a cripple.

• Marie Charlet : You don't really want me to go, do you? Do you?

• Marie Charlet : I never thought I'd be wearing *real* silk stockings. Babare always says they do things to him - even on a plaster leg in a window.

• Marie Charlet : I love the feel of velvet! Feel it, Toulouse.

• Henri : Some 300 years ago a man named Da Vinci painted a portrait of a woman. Her husband did not like it and would not pay for it. Today it hangs in the Louvre and no one man in the world has enough money to buy it.

  Marie Charlet : What good does that do the - what's his name - the painter?

  Henri : Oh, he had his reward. He painted it.

  Marie Charlet : Doesn't make any sense to me.

• Marie Charlet : Toulouse? Let me in, Toulouse. I know you're there. I saw the light from below. I didn't mean all those things I said. Please, let me in! I'll be good! I'll be good to you! I do anything you want. I'm so crazy about you! Would you like me to pose for you, Toulouse? I won't charge you anything. I pose in the all together, if you want.

• Marie Charlet : I don't tell lies, Toulouse! Except sometimes, to the police.

• Henri : I always mean to sketch you like that, with your hands in your hair. But, the sight is so enchanting I forget to do anything about it.

  Marie Charlet : You're nice, Toulouse.
