- Victor Esteban: [Visiting his studio apartment] There isn't john here !
- Jeanne Lancry: John, as you say, is on the stage. You'll have to take your precautions before going to bed.
- Thomas "Tom" Esteban: You'll shit in your trousers...!
- Victor Esteban: Shut up or I'll make you eat your shit !
- Jeanne Lancry: You're crazy to speak like that...!
- [to Pierre]
- Jeanne Lancry: Don't you say anything to them ?!
- Pierre Esteban: [to Victor and Tom] You're crazy to speak like that..!
- Jeanne Lancry: We could play hide-and-go-seek !
- Victor Esteban: [ironic] Of course ! And we could play jump rope, while you're about it !
- Jeanne Lancry: [she's going to visit a church, to the children] Are you sure to want to stay in the car ?
- Victor Esteban: I'm not baptized.
- Jeanne Lancry: Because you need be baptized to go in a church ? What nonsense ! Do as you please, but it will be boiling hot in there !
- Camille: Unless we set the automatic air-conditioning going.
- Jeanne Lancry: Of course ! I'll set the motor going, just to keep you in a cool place !
- Camille: Why not ?
- Pierre Esteban: [to Tom and Paul] Do you come with us, or do you do like the two big twits ?
- Thomas "Tom" Esteban, Paul: We do like the two big twits.
- Pierre Esteban: [describing Victor, his eldest son] Typical teenager. He feels uncomfortable. He don't answer when one's telling to him. He thinks know everything, because obviously his father don't know anything.
- Jeanne Lancry: Girls are not better. My getting-on-for-thirteen daughter is awful. At home, she can't spend a second without her soft toy, but I have to fight with her like a madwoman because she would go to the school dressed like a hooker !
- Victor Esteban: [to Pierre] Why does Camille have the best room?
- Camille: Just because I'm my mother's daughter!
