- Narrator: Young people imagine the worst right away, yet the worst seems unreal to them, since they're unable to imagine death.
- Narrator: Elisabeth never thanked anyone. She was used to miracles, also they came as no surprise. She expected them, and they never failed to happen.
- Narrator: A great mystery was made clear: Elisabeth hadn't married him for his money nor his elegance or charm. She married him for his death.
- Elisabeth: I play nursemaid while you play in the snow. I bet you're the idiot who dragged him into this! Who'll nurse him? You? Don't just stand there, nitwit!
- Gerard: My dear Lisbeth...
- Elisabeth: I'm not *your* Lisbeth! Show some respect!
- Paul: Gérard, don't listen to the old bag. She's a pain.
- Elisabeth: Old bag? All right, you jerks! You're on your own. Nurse yourself. This takes the cake!
- Headmaster: I forbid you to speak to me like that!
- Dargelos: I'll speak any way I want!
- Headmaster: Do you grasp the seriousness of your situation?
- Dargelos: You're a pain in the ass!
- Mariette: What do you think, Doctor?
- Doctor: Mariette, you lost your grandchild. You're all alone. Would you abandon these kids? I'll handle the expense. Do they frighten you?
- Mariette: No, Doctor.
- Doctor: Can you not breathe in here?
- Mariette: No, Doctor. What they breathe is lighter than air.
- Doctor: Splendid. You'll keep order.
- Mariette: Impossible, Doctor. Impossible.
- Doctor: They you'll oversee this disorder. May I count on you?
- Mariette: Yes, Doctor. One can't help loving them.
- Model #1: Undress, cutie-pie, and show us your talents.
- Elisabeth: You'll have to teach me everything.
- Model #2: I'll say!
- Agathe: You be the customer and I'll model a dress. Sit down. Smile. No, don't. I forgot. Customers never smile. Approach from a distance and head straight toward her, hands on your hips, thumbs forward. Stare straight at her like you're picking a fight. Pause. Turn around slowly. Face her again. Look her over from head to toe, but look right through her. Then walk away in haughty disdain. Cross the room and start over with another customer.
- Elisabeth: Spying on us now?
- Paul: I'm doing my duty.
- Elisabeth: Your duty?
- Paul: Yes, my duty! You're filthy whores and Gérard is a pimp!
- Gerard: Wait, wait...
- Paul: Don't interrupt. I'm leaving this house so so they can bring men here. I've always said models were nothing but lowlife sluts! They're both bitches in heat and you're to blame!
- Gerard: That boy, Michael, knows my uncle. He's a very rich American Jew. We wanted you to meet him.
- Paul: I refuse! I'll slap that low-down Jew in the face! Good going! You two have corrupted this poor girl. Are you trying to sell her to that Jew?
- Elisabeth: I didn't know you were anti-Semitic. Anyway, you're barking up the wrong tree. Michael wants to marry me and I like him.
- Paul: Marry you? You're mad! Have you looked in the mirror? Look! Look! No one would marry you. You're ugly! The queen of the idiots! He was just making fun of you!
- Michael: [singing] There you go, There's that look, Now you pass me by, And close the book, The chapter ends, The night ends too, My world is gone, And so are you, I guess that all the time, I really could see, You were smiling at him, And laughing at me.
- Agathe: I fell in love with Paul the moment I saw him. I didn't dare admit it to myself. I liked it when he teased and insulted me.
