Bernard Milan Quotes in The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972)

Bernard Milan: This is getting on my nerves, this is getting on my nerves, this is getting on my nerves, this is getting on my nerves!

Le colonel Louis Marie Alphonse Toulouse: [he's startled Milan by coming up behind him] You're very nervous, Bernard.

Bernard Milan: It's just that I didn't realize you were behind me, sir.

Le colonel Louis Marie Alphonse Toulouse: Oh, but I'm not. As usual, I'm way ahead of you.

Bernard Milan: [he's dying from a gunshot in Perrin's apartment; Perrache slowly opens the door and enters] Perrache?

[Perache comes over to him and bends over him]

Bernard Milan: The tall blond... with the black shoe... who is he?

[Perraxche straightens up and looks about him at Poucet's dead body and the unconscious Maurice; Milan looks at him pleadingly]

Perrache: [pause, then] A fool's trap, sir.

[Milan, realizing the truth, dies with a smile]

Bernard Milan: [on the phone with Botrel] He's flushing the toilet? What do you mean, he's flushing the toilet? Yes, I know, but there's got to be a reason he keeps on flushing it!

Bernard Milan: [being informed over the phone about Perrin's latest activities] He's throwing bread to the ducks? Oh, my God!
