Liliom (1934)

Maximilienne: Mme. Menoux

Quotes 

• Mme. Menoux : Did he hit you? Shame on him! Did he hurt you?

  Julie : No.

  Mme. Menoux : You should have slapped him back. That's what I used to do! Poor little lamb!

• Mme. Menoux : The turner's quite a handsome man and he has a good job. He's very well off and would love to marry you. Aren't you interested? Liliom beats you. Between a good man and a rascal, you'd take the rascal in a flash.

  Julie : It takes all kinds to make the world.

  Mme. Menoux : It will end badly. One day Liliom will go too far and then...

  Julie : If I have him, nothing else matters, even dying.

  Mme. Menoux : Dying is easy. It's living that's difficult.

• Mme. Menoux : I'd marry the turner if I were you. The good life, how wonderful! A white wedding with a veil, tiara and all! You'd have a house, money, the respect of your neighbors. Men would tip their hats to you in the street. More gifts than you could shake a stick at! You'd have a maid, I hope, someone to help with the baby. Because soon you'd have a baby. A little smiling angel dressed in real lace.
