Gabrielle Quotes:

  • Gabrielle: Hey! You totally blew me away!

    Jay: What? You wanna blow me?

    [the Z-Boys laugh]

    Gabrielle: Maybe!

  • [last lines]

    Gabrielle: By the way, my name is Gabrielle.

    Gil: I'm Gil, nice to meet you. It's a pretty name.

  • Gabrielle: I don't mind getting wet.

  • Richard: [knock on door] Yes?

    Gabrielle: Mr. Benson?

    Richard: You are, I assume, the young lady from the typing bureau?

    Gabrielle: I am.

    Richard: In that case, if we are to have a happy and harmonious relationship, I beg of you, never answer a question with a question. Is that clear?

    Gabrielle: Did I?

    Richard: There you go again, answering a question with a question. My original yes when you opened the door was a question, question mark implied of course. You do know the difference between implied and inferred?

    Gabrielle: Isn't that a question?

    Richard: [pauses] Yes.

    Gabrielle: Well, you just answered my question with a question. To imply is to indicate without saying openly or directly, to infer is to conclude from something known or assumed.

  • Gabrielle: What's the story about?

    Richard: It's an action/suspense, uh, romantic melodrama with lots of comedy, of course. And, uh, deep down underneath, a substrata of social comment.

  • Richard: You really like it, don't you.

    Gabrielle: What?

    Richard: Life.

    Gabrielle: Oh! Every morning when I wake up and I see there's a whole new other day, I just go absolutely ape!

  • Gabrielle: Actually, depravity can be terribly boring if you don't smoke or drink.

  • Gabrielle: You're not middle aged, Mr. Benson. In fact I think you're remarkably well preserved.

    Richard: As chilling a compliment as I've ever received, Miss Simpson.

  • Gabrielle: It's quite all right, really. I once worked for an American novelist who could only write in the bathtub. I'm used to anything.

    Richard: You can unpack -

    [surprised]

    Richard: in the bathtub?

    Gabrielle: Yes. On the second day, I gave him a packet of bubble bath and from then on we got along swimmingly.

    Richard: I see.

    [pointing to the name on the birdcage]

    Richard: Uh, does that imply that the bird's name is Richelieu?

    Gabrielle: Oh, it's inferred, I believe, rather than implied.

    Richard: [pause] "Swimmingly." Interesting figure of speech.

  • Richard: You call the canary Richelieu because you always wanted a cardinal.

    Gabrielle: [laughs] That's very funny!

    Richard: No, it isn't. Just one of the hazards of being an international wit, which I am. You have to keep trying all the time.

  • Richard: And this guy you've got a date with on Bastille Day, is he part of the growth process?

    Gabrielle: Oh no, he's just a friend, a struggling young actor.

    Richard: [outraged] An actor!

    [disgusted]

    Richard: Eww. A tragic relation to begin with. I only hope he's not one of those method actors that who scratches and mumbles and pauses a lot, thereby destroying the impeccable rhythm of the author's prose.

  • Richard: [about the screenplay's main character] Now, I suppose we'll have to describe him.

    Gabrielle: Yes, I suppose so.

    Richard: He's American, of course. I can write him better that way. Now let's see, what else.

    [looking in the mirror]

    Richard: I see him as rather tall, rather suntanned, rather handsome athletic-looking with a rugged, but... curiously sensitive face.

  • Gabrielle: You must choose. It is like that movie "Sofie's Choice" only it is Nathan's choice. Do you know that movie, "Sofie's Choice"? It is like that. Only it is this.

  • [last lines]

    Gabrielle: You remind me so much of Nathan.

    Puff: Like father, like son.

    Gabrielle: Plus, so much of my little mongrel doggy.

    Puff: woof! Let's go eat, I'm starving.

    Gabrielle: French?

    Puff: Yes.
