The Comte de Toulouse-Lautrec Quotes in Moulin Rouge (1952)

The Comte de Toulouse-Lautrec: You should be horsewhipped for smearing the name of Toulouse-Lautrec over every kiosk in Paris. That revolting poster is a disgrace.

Henri: I am sorry you do not like my work, Father. But I shall continue to sign it as I please, for it is my name and it is my work.

The Comte de Toulouse-Lautrec: Work? A pretext to hang about cheap dance halls and drink all night. You call that pornographic trash work?

Henri: Yes, I call it work. On this I am more of an authority than you, Father. You've never worked. Our kind never did. We are the grand seigneurs, we are above work.
