• Léon : Now for a flop at the Salvation Army! 20 francs... wow!

  Zazu Clairon : How about my maid's room?

  Léon : Ah! Is she pretty?

  Zazu Clairon : She's not there... she left.

• Monsieur Dalban : I'm disappointed in my son! He's deceiving me!

  Zazu Clairon : With your girl-friend?

  Monsieur Dalban : What? I've no girl-friend. I'm disillusioned with women and it continues through my son. He's fallen for a chippie who's been ordered by her mother to trap him! An attack calls for counter-attack!

• Zazu Clairon : I've got work to do. Don't be too good!

  Bernard Dalban : It's those without children who understand them.

• Zazu Clairon : [singing]  Life would then be pure enhancement, If we could live like Eve and Adam...

• Zazu Clairon : [singing]  What, then, do you want me to do? Nothing but a little corner of your bed, to pass the night! Shall I dance for you?

• Zazu Clairon : Where to now, Leon?

  Léon : A new neighborhood. Too many offers for jobs here. And you?

  Zazu Clairon : To the cabaret... to dance... and sing...
