• Cecile : We will only write this time, won't we?

• Madame de Rosemonde : Ah, my sweet girl. If I understand what these people have been saying, you have a dilemma.

  Cecile : I do?

  Madame de Rosemonde : Tell me, if it were up to you, would you rather marry that Monsieur de... eh...

  Mertuil : Gercourt.

  Madame de Rosemonde : Exactly, Gercourt. Or the other one? The one with the harp.

  Cecile : Well, I... I... I'll do whatever my Maman wants me to do.

  Valmont : But that is not what my aunt is asking you. Forget Maman. If you had the choice, who would you pick? You, yourself?

  Cecile : Oh! I... I... I guess I would marry Monsieur de Gercourt, and... keep Monsieur Danceny for a lover?

• Cecile : Is he your lover?

  Mertuil : Cecile - one doesn't ask questions like that. Certainly not of a widow.

  Cecile : Widows don'e have lovers?

  Mertuil : No. They don't.

• Madame de Volanges : Why are you locking your cabinet?

  Cecile : Is it locked?

  Madame de Volanges : Give me the key.

  Cecile : I don't know where it is.

  Madame de Volanges : It's hanging round your neck.

• Cecile : He's dead! I killed him. I won!

• Cecile : Monsieur de Valmont wanted me to write; so, I was writing that letter.

  Mertuil : And?

  Cecile : You know.

  Mertuil : Monsieur de Valmont is quite a writer, isn't he?

• Valmont : I'd do whatever Mama wants me to do.

  Valmont : But that's not what my Aunt is asking you. Forget Mama. If you had the choice, who would you pick? You, yourself.

  Cecile : I guess I would marry Monsieur de Gercourt - and keep Monsieur de Danceny for a lover?

• Valmont : You only have one choice, Cecile.

  Cecile : What?

  Valmont : We have to write Danceny another letter.

  Cecile : Oh, yes. But - we will only write, won't we, sir?

  Valmont : Oh, yes. Yes, we'll only write.
