Alcide Laurier Quotes in La Parisienne (1957)

Alcide Laurier: Does he love you?

Brigitte Laurier: Not at all, unfortunately.

Alcide Laurier: Good, you could end up unhappy with that guy.

Brigitte Laurier: Why?

Alcide Laurier: He's much too ambitious to be seriously involved with a woman. He's not the loving type.

Brigitte Laurier: What about his mistresses?

Alcide Laurier: That's got nothing to do with it. He has mistresses because - eh - By the way, I hope you didn't...

Brigitte Laurier: Oh, no, Daddy, never.

Alcide Laurier: And he's never tried...

Brigitte Laurier: Never.

Alcide Laurier: Bravo! He's a complete idiot, but at least he's honorable.

Michel Legrand: [Michel caught with Brigitte hiding in his bed] Mr. President.

Alcide Laurier: You zip it, understand? To do that to me, in front of everybody.

Michel Legrand: I swear I've done nothing! It's just a misunderstanding. Say something, Brigitte! Tell him!

Brigitte Laurier: I'll say whatever you want, darling.

Michel Legrand: Don't call me darling.

Brigitte Laurier: Okay, darling.

Michel Legrand: Mr. President, listen. On my honor. On the honor of the government and the Republic, nothing happened.

Brigitte Laurier: Really?

Alcide Laurier: The whole of Paris saw my daughter half-naked in your bed and you tell me nothing happened. Well, I assure you something will happen. A wedding, you hear me? Immediately.

Brigitte Laurier: Daddy, I love you.

Michel Legrand: Mr. President, do not upset her.

Alcide Laurier: Shut up or I'll request your resignation immediately and slap you silly.

Brigitte Laurier: Great idea. Go ahead.

Alcide Laurier: [Slaps Brigitte] There!

Alcide Laurier: Look, my dear, I find all this difficult to believe. You've just come back from your honeymoon. It's still way too early. It can't be that terrible. So, what's the problem?

Brigitte Laurier: I married a Don Juan. You did warn me.

Alcide Laurier: He's unfaithful already?

Brigitte Laurier: Not yet, but he will be. I can feel it. And when he does, I'll get even! I swear!

Alcide Laurier: You're delusional. Michel loves you.

Brigitte Laurier: Do you really think so? He's never told me.

Alcide Laurier: Love and sadness are always silent.

Alcide Laurier: Did Brigitte tell you she was with him?

Michel Legrand: She certainly did.

Alcide Laurier: Calm down. If she had really been with him, she would have told you the opposite. Women never tell the truth.

Michel Legrand: Now, my darling, where were you this afternoon?

Brigitte Laurier: I was with the prince.

Michel Legrand: She's at it again.

Alcide Laurier: Brigitte's only joking. Tell Michel where you really were.

Brigitte Laurier: I went to the cinema on the Champs-Élysées to see an Italian film.

[Crossing her fingers, on both hands, behind her back]

Brigitte Laurier: I met an old school friend coming out - the one you think is stupid - and we went for a cup of tea together.
