Caron Quotes in American Psycho (2000)

Young Woman: He said he was in mergers and acquisitions.

Timothy Bryce: You're not con-fused, are you?

Young Woman: No, not really.

Timothy Bryce: Caron's right. Gorbachev's not downstairs. He's at Tunnel.

[Caron calls London, Assistant Commisioner Mallinsion at 3:58 in the morning]

Mallinson: I don't wish to sound rude, Inspector, but wouldn't it be better if this sort of routine inquiry could be conducted through the proper channels, preferably when we're all awake?

Caron: Yes, I'm sorry Mr. Mallinson, but it is very urgent. Commissioner Lebel didn't wish to make a formal request; he was rather hoping that you'd cooperate with us unofficially.

Mallinson: All right, I'll take the Commissioner's call at... 08:30, you say? Fine. Good night.

[hangs up]

Mallinson: What's left of it...

Mallinson's Wife: Who was that, dear?

Mallinson: The Old Boy Network.

[Lebel arranges calls from Holland, Belgium, Italy, West Germany, South Africa, the United States and Britain]

Caron: Sir, how do you know that the Jackal comes from any of these seven countries?

Lebel: I don't. But he must be on file somewhere.

Caron: You know, sir, what they'll do to you if you don't catch this man in time...

Lebel: I've been given a job to do, so we'll just have to do it.

Caron: But no crime has been committed yet, so where are we supposed to start looking for the criminal?

Lebel: We start by recognizing that, after De Gaulle, we are the two most powerful people in France.

Caron: [on phone] Yes, Washington, I know it's seven o'clock there, it's midnight here!
