Quotes Alexandre: If you must know, I like slender, rather tall girls.
Lea: Blondes or brunettes?
Alexandre: Brunettes. With smooth, light, slightly tanned skin. They really attract me. Especially when they have big eyes and silky lashes.
Lea: Cut it out. You promised not to lay it on!
Alexandre: I'm not laying it on! You asked what my type was! You're much closer than Adrienne to my ideal. You've always attracted me. But fate was against it.
Lea: Fate! You control yours, don't be modest!
Alexandre: You're wrong! I don't like to push. I'm no Romeo. The fact is, girls like me! It's given me bad habits. It can be a disadvantage. They seek me out, so I just relax. Means I don't always wind up with the best. If I like a girl, I'll meet her sooner or later... Better later then too soon. Take us... I'm glad I met you now, not 6 months ago. We're both available...
Lea: Stop it! What's available mean? And I don't like your kind of guy. I like to be wooed!
Alexandre: You were with Fabien!
Lea: You should have been insanely jealous.
Alexandre: Who says I wasn't?
Lea: Actions talk! You should've done something wild!
Alexandre: Let's run away. I'll kidnap you!
Lea: That's not so wild. And I said no!
Alexandre: I heard yes.
Lea: It meant no.
Alexandre: I'll think of something wilder... Come live with me! You've even got your bags! My place's too big for me alone.
Lea: When you're alone!
Alexandre: I'm alone now.
Lea: I'm going to my folks'. They're expecting me.
Alexandre: Call them back!
Lea: They're asleep.
Alexandre: So they're not waiting up!
Lea: I might move in with you, but not now. We've known each other 6 months, so wait 6 more months. During that period, you mustn't date anyone else. Then maybe I'll let myself be wooed!
Alexandre: I accept. But you mustn't date anyone, either.
Lea: That suits me fine!
Alexandre: 6 months is a bit long. How about 6 days?
