Quotes 

• Agnès Dumont : I don't like your friend.

  Roger Vital : He's not a bad guy. Just a womanizer, pretentious, not so smart and spineless as they come. His only real flaw is that he is a hypocrite.

  Agnès Dumont : How awful!

  Roger Vital : No. No. He's not the worst there is. He hasn't murdered anyone. At least, not yet.

• Roger Vital : Take a gander. A girl's getting picked up.

  Magali : I adore that stuff!

  [Sees it is Daniel in the pursuit] 

  Magali : The bastard!

• Roger Vital : [to Magali]  I worship you, you know. I won't hide the truth from you. Daniel is crazy, he's rotten, he's pitiful. He's a waste of your time.

  Guillaume : Take if from his best fried.

• Roger Vital : Not so fast, I'll handle it.

  Daniel Roy : You wouldn't know how.

  Roger Vital : Trust me.

  Daniel Roy : You'll need an hour to kiss her.

  Roger Vital : Me? Five minutes.

  Daniel Roy : You're sure?

  Roger Vital : Easy as pie.

  Daniel Roy : Ten minutes. If you're not kissing, it's my turn. Deal?

• Agnès Dumont : Bye, lecher.

  Roger Vital : Bye, Joan of Arc.

• Roger Vital : My dates never stand me up.

  Daniel Roy : Where are you going?

  Magali : The striptease contest. He'll be too busy ogling to paw me.

  Daniel Roy : Can I go?

  Edouard, Friend of Daniel : Me too? Are you guys coming?

  Roger Vital : I reserved a table for two.

  Edouard, Friend of Daniel : Don't worry. Magali can sit on my lap.

• Magali : Why the mask? I bet she's ugly.

  Daniel Roy : Not necessarily. I think it is very original.

  Roger Vital : With a body like that, she doesn't need brains.

• Daniel Roy : Give me the details. I don't know what came over me. The curves on that girl!

  Roger Vital : What about Agnès?

  Daniel Roy : That's totally different.

  Roger Vital : You're unbelievable! You want all them - Agnès, Sophia, Magali...

• Daniel Roy : A strip-teasing duchess?

  Roger Vital : Those bluebloods will do anything for kicks.

• Roger Vital : Daniel is really odd. Last night he threw himself at this girl, and an hour later, he proposed to another.

  La secrétaire : A man's heart works in mysterious ways.

• Roger Vital : You'll make tomorrow's front page, worldwide!

  Sophia : I'm not *that* Sophia. I'm the other one.

  Daniel Roy : Two Sophias?

• Roger Vital : It hurts when you treat me like an idiot.

  Daniel Roy : You are an idiot.
