  • François Perrin: [to Campana, on board the plane to Brazil before it takes off] Do you like to fly? I love to, but last time we had a problem... we almost crashed. It was at Orly; the wing flaps got stuck. We nosed into a field.

    [Campana stares at Perrin]

    François Perrin: Happens often, it seems.

  • François Perrin: [to Campana, talking about Mademoiselle Martin] I like her... she helped me up when I was electrocuted.

    François Perrin: I got juice, all right.

    François Perrin: [finally notices Campana staring at him] Why stare at me that way?

    [Campana shrugs]

  • François Perrin: [he notices Campana's shoelace is untied] Your shoestring...

    Campana: [kneels down to tie his shoelace; it breaks. He stares at it, then at Perrin, almost scared] I broke it!

    François Perrin: It's no tragedy.
