Roger Vital Quotes in Plucking the Daisy (1956)

Agnès Dumont: I don't like your friend.

Roger Vital: He's not a bad guy. Just a womanizer, pretentious, not so smart and spineless as they come. His only real flaw is that he is a hypocrite.

Agnès Dumont: How awful!

Roger Vital: No. No. He's not the worst there is. He hasn't murdered anyone. At least, not yet.

Roger Vital: Take a gander. A girl's getting picked up.

Magali: I adore that stuff!

[Sees it is Daniel in the pursuit]

Magali: The bastard!

Roger Vital: [to Magali] I worship you, you know. I won't hide the truth from you. Daniel is crazy, he's rotten, he's pitiful. He's a waste of your time.

Guillaume: Take if from his best fried.

Roger Vital: Not so fast, I'll handle it.

Daniel Roy: You wouldn't know how.

Roger Vital: Trust me.

Daniel Roy: You'll need an hour to kiss her.

Edouard, Friend of Daniel: Me too? Are you guys coming?

Roger Vital: I reserved a table for two.

Edouard, Friend of Daniel: Don't worry. Magali can sit on my lap.

Magali: Why the mask? I bet she's ugly.

Daniel Roy: Not necessarily. I think it is very original.

Roger Vital: With a body like that, she doesn't need brains.

Daniel Roy: Give me the details. I don't know what came over me. The curves on that girl!

Roger Vital: What about Agnès?

Daniel Roy: That's totally different.

Roger Vital: You're unbelievable! You want all them - Agnès, Sophia, Magali...

Daniel Roy: A strip-teasing duchess?

Daniel Roy: You are an idiot.
