- M. Thévenot: Dry martinis for everyone? There isn't a better tranquilizer than a dry martini. I read it in a woman's magazine. Leave it to me, I'll prepare it. Ah, unfortunately these glasses aren't really right at all. Fashions have changed. The ideal for a dry martini is a traditional cone-shaped glass.
- Florence: Here it is.
- M. Thévenot: Yes. Yes, that's about it. The most important thing is the ice. It has to be of first-rate quality. Very cold and very hard. About 15 degrees centigrade below zero. Exactly like this one.
- M. Thévenot: Let's start with the wine, shall we?
- Alice Sénéchal: Yes!
- Simone Thévenot: Well, that depends on what we order.
- M. Thévenot: Now what do you like, madame? I like burgundy.
- Alice Sénéchal: Oh, burgundy. Burgundy.
- M. Thévenot: Well, to tell the truth, even if I eat oysters or fish, I prefer red wine. So.
- Simone Thévenot: Snails cha.blisienne.
- Alice Sénéchal: Oh, I simply hate snail.
- Simone Thévenot: Yeah?
- M. Thévenot: I wouldn't mind having a rabbit pâté; but, uh, in these restaurants, I think it's always too salty. So.
- Rafael Acosta: Look, they've got melon.
- Alice Sénéchal: Oh, that's a good idea. I'll have melon with port.
- M. Thévenot: I wouldn't mind some caviar, but I'm afraid it won't be the best quality and they'll give tiny portions. I'd prefer my own little brand.
- Rafael Acosta: Is there any fish on the menu? I'm very fond of fish.
- Simone Thévenot: Oh, well, they've got great sardines and filet of sole and fried codfish, and also buttered skate and quenelles of pike and grilled lobster.
- Alice Sénéchal: The place isn't very expensive. It's not expensive and there's nobody here. That's rather odd.
- Florence: You think so? Well, I think I'll skip the melon, and instead I'll have a dry martini, if you don't mind.
- Simone Thévenot: Out of the question. It's red wine or nothing. So there.
- M. Thévenot: And a good bottle of Crémant to warm us up, huh?
