Maxence Quotes in The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)

Maxence: I must steer clear of dreary bourgeoisie art, I must be avant-garde and paint what's in my heart.

Maxence: Paris is small for great passion like us.

Maxence: Braque, Picasso, Klee, Miró, Matisse - - that's life!

Maxence: [singing] I've searched for her, I've traveled countless miles, From Bali to Lima, Across the South Sea isles, From deep river beds to beds where young girls smile, I keep running after her, Hoping all the while, Just knowing she's alive makes her my beacon fire...

Maxence: [singing] Knowing she's out there fills me with more desire, Than all the naked girls in my wildest fantasies...

Maxence: [singing] , I've looked everywhere, I've sailed the seven seas. Can she be far? Is she close to me? I couldn't say, But I know that she exists, Is she a wicked girl or born to royalty? A movie celebrity? Or a simple florist? I know she'll belong to me.

Yvonne Garnier: Going somewhere?

Maxence: I have two days of leave left. I'm going home to Nantes. My leave's immi-Nantes!

Yvonne Garnier: [laughs] Aren't you funny!
