Quotes 

• Hubert Dumont : Ladies and gentlemen, this is more than a museum. It's a faithful reconstruction of Balzac's daily life.

• Hubert Dumont : You're now in the sitting room where Balzac drank his coffee. Before he became a great writer - excuse me - Before becoming a writer - excuse me - He especially loved - don't touch that - He especially loved coffee. He never wrote without coffee and never had coffee without writing. So writing while drinking coffee and drinking while writing were all the same to him. I'll have a cup myself as soon as you leave.

• Hubert Dumont : Balzac hated sports, because he had to carry the "ball sack." Get it? See? Even museum guides can be witty.

• Hubert Dumont : It's all Sophia's fault.

  Daniel Roy : Is she a friend of yours? Hello. I'm Daniel Roy.

  Hubert Dumont : I'm incognito. Bing-bang!

• Hubert Dumont : Unbelievable! Reign in your wild passion, please! They insist you do your striptease.
