L'Atalante (1934)

Quotes

L'Atalante

Edit
  • Le camelot (peddler): My dear friends, so kind of you to come. We were waiting for you before we served the biscuits dry as the duchess's pussy.
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): Last night is the past, and the past is past.
  • Jean: Let's do this properly and wake the missus with a song.
  • Le gosse (cabin boy): There she is!
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): There she is!
  • Jean: One, two, three.
  • Jean, Le père Jules (old Jules), Le gosse (cabin boy): [singing] We're on the barges to work - not to play, Not to wander but to ply the canals all day, Seated at the helm we're kings of the realm, A pretty girl's smile may beguile us a while, There may be hard times too, But we'll see them through, With a cheerful heart, That's what bargemen do!
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): I've had about enough of him and his Juliette. "Get to work"? Does she grease the engine? All day long, it's either smoochin' or squabblin'!
  • Juliette: Do you wash once a year?
  • Jean: If that!
  • Juliette: Well, that's going to change.
  • Juliette: Jean, will we be there soon?
  • Jean: Where?
  • Juliette: I don't know. Somewhere. Anywhere.
  • Jean: [singing] When young folks set out on a barge, And live that life day after day, The sun begins to bronze their skin, Their eyes...
  • Jean, Juliette: Turn paler than the wind
  • Jean: The bargemen have stolen them away...
  • Jean: Are you bored?
  • Juliette: Oh, no.
  • Jean: Don't worry. There'll be places to see.
  • Juliette: Riverbanks.
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): [drunkenly singing] Paris, Paris, Oh, infamous city of love, Dear to the heart of rogues, Paris, the great enchantress, Paris, Paris...
  • Le gosse (cabin boy): Pere Jules! We're in Paris! All hands on deck! The boss said to get a move on.
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): The boss? Who's that? Who's the boss around here anyway?
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): I'm gonna find the missus.
  • Le gosse (cabin boy): You're gonna find the missus?
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): Yes, I'm gonna find the missus. You seen the state he's in? I'm gonna bring her back.
  • Le gosse (cabin boy): Now?
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): I ain't waitin' for Bastille Day!
  • Le père Jules (old Jules): We're in a fix now. Head office wants to see us. We got a summons. And who'll straighten it out? Me, as usual! All because of that hussy!
  • Le camelot (peddler): A little something from Paris. A bit of the city. I'll be in Paris tonight. Want to come? I'll take you. Just like that, in a flash! You'll just get rheumatism on this old thing. I'll take you on my bike. You'll be back before roll call. It's a city bursting with lights. The "city of light" on every level. Bikes, motorbikes, and convertibles for everyone. It's splendiferous! The Champs-Élysées for bébé, the Tuileries for me, and for madame, Notre Dame. Is it a deal? Going once, twice, three times. No takers?
