A Slightly Pregnant Man (1973)

Raymond Gérôme: Gérard Chaumont de Latour

Quotes 

• Irène de Fontenoy : You mean it's true?

  Gérard Chaumont de Latour : Yes, Madame. Your husband is pregnant.

  Irène de Fontenoy : Pregnant? By whom?

  Dr. Delavigne : By you, dear lady.

  Irène de Fontenoy : That can't be true. Not by me. I'm gullible, but not that gullible

• Marco Mazetti : I think it's moving.

  Gérard Chaumont de Latour : Of course it's moving. You just weren't paying attention before. We men are less attentive to these tiny signs of affection, while women are constantly on the lookout. They react to the very first kick. They're more sensitive.

  Marco Mazetti : I'd be fine if I didn't have these anxiety attacks. I'm afraid I'll give birth to a monster. Once I dreamed it was a chicken. Another time, a fish. But, don't tell Irène. She might worry.

  Gérard Chaumont de Latour : Who doesn't feel nervous in a world like ours, my friend? The man who gives birth will be a better man, because he'll finally understand what it means to create.

• Gérard Chaumont de Latour : It's true. Your husband is perfectly normal.

  Dr. Delavigne : He's not a homosexual.

  Gérard Chaumont de Latour : Please, Dr. Delavigne. You know that homosexuals can't have children. Only a man and a woman can. In the case at hand it's simply a reversal, or rather, a transferal.

  Irène de Fontenoy : I must be going mad!

  Marco Mazetti : What about me? I'm the one having the baby!

• Gérard Chaumont de Latour : You know what our worst enemy is? Our food. The shamelessly adulterated food we ingest daily. Daily absorption of these artificial products leads in the long term to a total transformation of our organism.

  Dr. Delavigne : The famous "hormone-fed chickens" theory.

  Irène de Fontenoy : Good God!

• Dr. Delavigne : It is indeed nothing less than a revolution. We've spoken of it for ages and it's finally happened. And it's far from over, believe me.

  Gérard Chaumont de Latour : It's an evolution. A revolution for the species. The birth of a new man.

  Dr. Delavigne : Finally!

  Gérard Chaumont de Latour : Men facing new responsibilities...

  Dr. Delavigne : Just like snails.

  Gérard Chaumont de Latour : Snails have nothing to do with it.
