  The Daughter : Mother, did anyone ever hit you? I mean a real slap that you can hear ring, and you didn't feel a thing?

  Julie : Yes, my child. There was a time when someone hit me, and I didn't feel a thing.

  The Daughter : Then, it is possible for someone to hit you, and not hurt you at all?

  Julie : Yes, my child. Someone can beat you, and beat you, without hurting you at all.

• Mme Moscat : I want to talk to you. Hussy! What kind of place do you think this is?

  Julie : I'm a working girl, I've got a good job.

  Mme Moscat : Working girl, huh? I'll bet! Listen up, string bean, we don't allow your kind in the Hippo-Palace! Beat it!

  Julie : "My kind?" I behave myself.

  Marie : What do you take us for?

  Mme Moscat : Hussies who come here to get pawed by Liliom.

  Julie : I don't let anyone paw me!

• Mme Moscat : [to Julie]  His arm was around your waist!

  Marie : Big deal! It bothers you?

  Mme Moscat : I wasn't talking to you, fish face.

  Julie : He puts his arm around everyone. He's just being nice.

  Mme Moscat : Is that so? What about the flower? Shut up! I saw you flirting with Liliom. Go back to where you came from. There's plenty of soldiers.

• Mme Moscat : There'll be no whoring in my establishment!

  Liliom Zadowski : Whoring?

  Julie : She claims you put your arm around me.

  Liliom Zadowski : [to Mme Moscat]  So? What's new? I'm no longer allowed to be nice to the ladies? I need permission? From who?

  Mme Moscat : You can show off for all the other sluts, but not that one!

  Liliom Zadowski : With all my deepest respect, why don't you shut your trap?

• Julie : What will you do now?

  Liliom Zadowski : Have a drink.

  Marie : With us?

  Liliom Zadowski : If you're buying, why not? Are you rich?

  Julie : I have eight...

  Liliom Zadowski : Eight francs?

  Julie : Eight cents.

  Liliom Zadowski : [to Marie]  How about you? Broke? Don't worry about it. I'll get my stuff and we'll have a drink. I'm buying.

• Liliom Zadowski : Got a boyfriend?

  Julie : No.

  Liliom Zadowski : Don't lie.

  Julie : I'm not. I'd tell you if I did. I've never had one.

  Liliom Zadowski : I asked you to stay and you did. You obviously know the ropes.

  Julie : Ropes?

  Liliom Zadowski : Baloney! You really don't know why you're sitting in the dark with me? What's your name?

  [starts copping her breast and massaging her upper thigh] 

  Liliom Zadowski : Your first name.

  Julie : Julie.

• Julie : If I loved someone, I wouldn't be afraid of anything, not even of dying.

• 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.

• The Daughter : My mother's a seamstress. I help her by making deliveries.

  Liliom Zadowski : What about your father?

  The Daughter : He died a long time ago.

  Liliom Zadowski : How did he die?

  The Daughter : We don't know. He went to work in America. He died in a hospital there.

  Liliom Zadowski : In America?

  The Daughter : Yes.

  Liliom Zadowski : In America?

  The Daughter : Why are you surprised? Did you know him?

  Liliom Zadowski : As well as myself.
