Quotes12

  • André Verne: So you outsmarted me, huh?
  • Julie: That's what happens, they tell me, when smart people get together. One of them winds up ahead.
  • André Verne: Whenever you want sanctuary, babe, here's where you'll find it.
  • [tapping thumb to chest]
  • André Verne: Right here, in the ol' temple.
  • Julie: Don't tap your heart, you'll break your finger. And if you're sanctuary, I'll take whatever else is lying around.
  • André Verne: [after the hostile Julie unexpectedly helps him win a fight by throwing a skillet] Shall I say "thanks," baby, or were you just waving at something?
  • André Verne: I said, where you from, baby?
  • Julie: Marseille.
  • André Verne: Marseille? Hmm, hot blue nights, the right kind of music, it's a date.
  • Julie: A romantic convict. What are you in for? Stealing doilies?
  • André Verne: I'll take all they've got, for a little of this. I don't know what you'll look like tomorrow, but right now, baby, you're the most beautiful dame in the world. Does that mean anything to you?
  • Julie: Not a thing!
  • André Verne: No. Supposing I wasn't a convict? Supposing I was sailing through on my yacht or a guy selling brushes?
  • Julie: Yeah, suppose I was Snow White!
  • André Verne: Hey, baby, stop messing around with the crew and get back here. You belong at the Captain's table, don't ever forget that.
  • André Verne: You hate hard, baby, so you love hard.
  • André Verne: A woman'd be a chump to go on with a guy like me, wouldn't she? What could she win? It's what you call makin' it the hard way. You can't travel that way, can ya baby?
  • Julie: Maybe that's it. But you'd do me a favor and drag me along with you anyway, wouldn't ya? From sewer to sewer.
  • André Verne: But on plush cushions!
  • André Verne: It don't make sense, here, this one will start you talking to yourself, listen,"So, God created man in his own image." How do you like that? Now, take a look at me. Do I look like a god to you? This forsaken place is full of gods, I suppose. Only, they're not working at it right now, they're gods' on a holiday! Answer that one.
  • Cambreau: It sounds simple enough. I think it means that each man has some of the qualities of God inside him, if he wants them and if he looks for them.
  • Moll: I see you brought a friend along with you, too. Always room for one more in the boat.
  • Julie: And if there isn't, you can always stay behind.
  • Moll: We'll cut up our rations with you and our water. What do you say?
  • André Verne: Big-hearted, ain't you Moll.
  • Moll: Why not. We're all together, aren't we? Everything is share and share alike, with us. With all of us, ain't it! With everything.
  • André Verne: Sure it is, with everything that's yours if not mine. Do you get that, Moll? And do you get it, you mugs? Take a good look, because that's all that any of you are going to get.
  • André Verne: I've got an idea, Grideau. Give me twelve hours to get out and put her
  • [Julie]
  • André Verne: in the dormatory. That way everybody's happy.
  • André Verne: But I got a couple of hidden weapons at that, here and here.
  • [he taps his head and his heart]
  • André Verne: Nobody can take them away from me.
