Nancy Carroll: Marine Bonnet

Quotes 

• [talking about the background of a murder victim] 

  Florence Bonnet : Her family are completely repellent in every way.

  Marine Bonnet : [sarcastically]  Get off the fence, Florence.

  Florence Bonnet : Personally, I'd call them criminals. As far as I know, he, Valère, is ten years younger than her. Not that you'd know to look at him. Married her for her money, probably. It certainly can't have been for her personality. Hers were a phenomenally wealthy family. Once owned that entire house where she now just has an apartment the size of football pitch, poor love. And they were Nazis.

  Antoine Verlaque : What, in the war?

  Florence Bonnet : Well, *obviously* in the war, Antoine. They were collaborators who somehow got off, the way the rich always do. But the great scandal, which I'm surprised you never heard about, Marine, is that her older half-sister Philomène was fathered by a German officer during the occupation. So they were rich, corrupt and fascist. Other than that, you can't fault them.
