The Baker's Wife (1938)

Maximilienne: Melle Angèle

Quotes 

• Melle Angèle : Well, I won't play along! It's no use insisting. I'm not budging. I want to see the adulteress's pitiful return. She doesn't want us to look? Well, I'll look! And under a light, so she sees me. A lost woman is made queen of the village? Then what use is virtue?

  L'instituteur : It's no use, sweet Angèle! I'm glad you realize it now. You've wasted 40 years, but we'll make up for that! Let me bare that breast and stroke that rump! Give me those lips!

• Melle Angèle : You two lack Christian charity. You should feel pity for the unfortunate woman who will burn in the flames of hell. Of course she'll be off again and she'll take your husbands, one after the other. She has the devil in her blood and evil in her body. But we mustn't judge. We must love our neighbor as ourselves.

  Céleste, la bonne du curé : What disgusts me is that she'll be handling the bread.
