"I know you've had differences with your wife." "But I'd like to arrange a trendy charity concert with your help." "Only if Mimie comes back." "Without her, my voice lacks substance." "She's the road manager of my soul." "What did you argue about?" "It was insignificant." "But she must understand who's the man of the house." "It can't be her."

"Idrissa Saleh, a friend of your husband." "What brought you here?" "I came by accident." "Have you known Marcel for long?" "No." "Just a couple of weeks." "Madam." "Yes?" "Try to get well soon." "Mr. Marx won't manage without you." "I think so, too." "Madam." "Goodbye." "And good luck." "Goodbye." "To you, too." "Thank you." "You'd better go." "Inspector Monet, what a surprise." "And this early." "It's my nature." "May I come in?" "By all means." "The dark side of my work is that people don't like us." "People scream for us to help." "But are they grateful?" "Not a bit." "It doesn't really bother me." "I don't much like people." "But it seems to disturb my colleagues especially the younger ones." "It may be hard to believe that my heart has its tender spots." "I'm ruthless towards genuine malefactors but I don't like to see the innocent suffer." "Not you." "You're not innocent." "And have never been." "That is true." "Naturally, I'm here completely unofficially and I thank you for inviting me in." "A nasty wind blows outside." "And I couldn't give you advice without committing a breach of duty." "Naturally." "So, we agree." "On my day off, and as your friend permit me to think aloud." "Here, it's your privilege." "If I were you, you find that repulsive..." "On the contrary." "Don't exaggerate." "If I practised smuggling, this is just hypothetical, and I had a precious parcel the border police should not get, they deal with smuggling and illegal immigration." "Your hypothesis is interesting." "So if I were you" "I'd get rid of the parcel as soon as possible." "Goodbye." "Gauthier, Goupil, Hébert, the street." "The rest, follow me." "Stay there." "Madam, we'll check the premises." "Go ahead, gentlemen." "We'll check the premises." "Talk to my wife." "With pleasure, young man." "Good morning." "Good morning, Jean-Pierre." "True." "It goes well with scallops." "Yes, but you have to shell them and make the sauce and everything." "Right, I won't make scallops." "They follow you." "I know." "Is the boy safe?" "Hope so." "God willing, he leaves today." "A white." "May I go out the back?" "Lock the door, Luc." "Go." " Cauliflowers!" " Sold out." "Go and sell your stuff to the rich!" "I'm sorry." "What a greengrocer!" "Liar!" "My husband'll kill me." "Have a nice voyage." "Get going, Chang!" "Thank you." "I won't forget you." "Nor will I you." "Greet your wife for me." "Take this." "Your mother's address." "Thanks, Francis." " You dirty..." " Don't make it worse." "Do you smoke?" "Move aside." "The hold is empty." "I've my orders." "You question my authority, officer?" "No, Inspector." "You may go." "I was mistaken about you." "May I apologize with a drink?" "Why not." "Perhaps a calvados." "Follow me, Mr. Marx." "You can pick up her things later." "Corinne, take him to Dr. Becker." "Right." "I'm sorry, Mr. Marx, I don't know what happened." "Medicine knows nothing like this." "Everything pointed at the opposite." "I heard about a patient in Shanghai who had healed in seconds... but here in France..." "I'm cured." "The disease is gone." "Let's go home, Marcel." "Look, Marcel." "The cherry tree blooms." "I'll make dinner right away."
