Ugo Quotes in La grande bouffe (1973)

Ugo: Wanting to be Marlon Brando is vanity.

Ugo: Cammille, what's wrong?

Cammille B.: Forgive me.

Ugo: That's all you can say? I've never seen this, leaving before the bow on opening night. Even if you didn't like it, it's insulting!

Cammille B.: To who?

Ugo: To the public, to me, to the company, to everyone!

Cammille B.: I didn't mean to insult anyone. I feel bad that it happened.

Ugo: That's not enough. I want an explanation.

Cammille B.: I can't explain.

Ugo: What is he to you, this Pierre?

Cammille B.: I lived with him before, before I - I lived with him when I was in Paris. He liked the play. He's not a bore, you know.

Ugo: No, he's a good man. How long did you live with him?

Cammille B.: Two years. Almost two years. But not quite.

Ugo: What did it do to you to see him? Do you still love him?

Cammille B.: No.

Ugo: Why are you staring at me?

Dominique 'Do': I think you're handsome. I'm just joking. Well, no. You have shadows under your eyes. Tired?

Ugo: This play is harder and harder.

Dominique 'Do': Mother and I plan to go tomorrow. It's not full?

Ugo: Far from it, unfortunately. I'm delighted you're coming.

Dominique 'Do': Mother will ask me to translate and explain everything. There will be "shhs" all around us.

Arthur: You know each other?

Dominique 'Do': What's it to you?

Arthur: [leaving] I'm going to the kitchen. I'll need to talk to you.

Dominique 'Do': He bugs me.

Ugo: I think I bug him, too.

Dominique 'Do': It's not you. It's you being with me.

Ugo: Really?

Dominique 'Do': He's not my brother. He's my half-brother. He has no rights over me.

Ugo: I find that Sonia most appealing.

Cammille B.: I don't doubt it. Thanks to you, that dinner was a catastrophe.

Ugo: I don't agree. I had a good time.

Cammille B.: Not me.

Ugo: Why not?

Cammille B.: I was ashamed of you. I was ashamed all evening.

Ugo: I'm sorry. I'm an actor, not a university professor.

Cammille B.: Don't be a hypocrite. Taking that superior air, it's unbearable!

Ugo: What's wrong today?

Dominique 'Do': Nothing. I'm fine.

Ugo: Yesterday, you were happier.

Dominique 'Do': That's not true.

Ugo: Happy, sad. Today, you're cold.

Dominique 'Do': I'm not cold at all. I'm pensive. Better look for what you're looking for than worry about me.

Ugo: What did I do? What did I say?

Dominique 'Do': Nothing. You are as you are.

Ugo: Maybe your brother likes burning books.

Dominique 'Do': He loves beautiful bindings.

Ugo: And money!

Dominique 'Do': What are you trying to do? Turn me against him? You'll never succeed!

Cammille B.: You're seeing Dominique tomorrow?

Ugo: My old Goldoni quirk. She's helping.

Cammille B.: I'm not questioning you.

Ugo: Shall we have dinner?

Cammille B.: I'm not hungry.

Max: You two would be interested in our conversation. Didn't you tell me about that ointment...

Orlando: What ointment?

Max: The one some Africans use... to last longer. What was it again?

Orlando: Oh, that. It's nothing. Just some crocodile fat and pungent herbs that they smear on before they...

Mili: Smear on what?

Linda: Mili, don't play dumb.

Orlando: It works for hours.

Max: Hear that, Mili? It works for hours.

Mili: I don't believe it.

Corrado Zeller: It's true, it's true. You have no idea what men in other countries do. For example, in Jordan I saw men eat mutton fat and honey for breakfast.

Max: What about the Chinese? They eat ground rhinoceros horn.

Ugo: Dried shark fin is an energy booster too.

Max: I confess that I've tried royal jelly and it works. Right, LInda?

Giuliana: What's that?

Ugo: Honey from the queen bee.

Max: It's rejuvenating. Remember that in your old age, miss.

Corrado Zeller: Assuming she still wants to make love then.

Max: What do you say to that?

Iole: I'd rather do certain things than talk about them.
