Clouseau : And... they were your fingerprints!
Benjamin Ballon : Well, why not? It's my house. I've often been in that closet.
Clouseau : For what reason?
Benjamin Ballon : Last time was moths.
Clouseau : "Meuths"?
Benjamin Ballon : [very clearly] Moths!
Clouseau : Yes, "meuths."
Benjamin Ballon : Maria was complaining of "murths."
[frowns at himself]
Clouseau : "Meurths"? Is that right, Maria, that - that you were complaining about these "meuths"?
Maria Gambrelli : Yes, I did complain about moths.
Clouseau : Oh, you mean "meuths"!

Benjamin Ballon : I admit to the affair. But, to kill for her? Would you kill for her?
Clouseau : Of course! Eh, not.

Benjamin Ballon : I'm not in the habit of killing people, merely because I dislike them.

Dominique Ballon : Well, shall we settle this thing now or do you intend making me late for the recital?
Benjamin Ballon : We can't just fire her. She's given us no cause.
Dominique Ballon : Cause? We are up to our necks in dead bodies! What are you waiting for, the last act of Hamlet?
Benjamin Ballon : If you are going to compare the Ballon household with a Shakespearean tragedy, I suggest that Macbeth would be more appropriate.
