Quotes

Mistress

Edit
  • Olivier: So what do you do? I mean...
  • Ariane: Me? You shouldn't ask me questions, because either I lie or I don't answer them.
  • Ariane: This is the young lady who needs to be punished? She's been naughty.
  • Ariane: Were you scared?
  • Olivier: I'm never scared.
  • Ariane: Liar!
  • Olivier: How do you manage? It must be exhausting.
  • Ariane: No, it's very exciting. It's fascinating to get into people's madness so intimately.
  • Olivier: Don't you get pleasure out of it?
  • Ariane: Of course, when I give it.
  • Olivier: Then you're the slave...
  • Ariane: No.
  • Olivier: Yes.
  • Ariane: No.
  • Olivier: You're at their disposal.
  • Ariane: No, I'm not. I couldn't do it if I didn't like it.
  • Olivier: Do you ever make love with them?
  • Ariane: Never.
  • Olivier: Never?
  • Ariane: No, never. Some things don't mix.
  • Olivier: Strange, isn't it? They're the ones who tell you what to say?
  • Ariane: They tell me what they want. And I use my imagination to improve on it. I get into their fantasies, their lives.
  • Ariane: You had to find out for yourself! Wasn't our relationship more important? More important than satisfying your curiosity? No?
  • Mario: It's a terrific job. Classy.
  • Olivier: Really? And it pays?
  • Mario: Yes. It's a gas.
  • Olivier: We sell art books. You know, art classics. Here's one on Titian.
  • Mario: What is this place? Is it a cathouse?
  • Ariane: I'm not the cautious type.
  • Mario: This is the time when they kill horses.
  • Olivier: Huh? How do you know that?
  • Mario: I worked in a slaughterhouse once.
  • Olivier: What was that like?
  • Olivier: Awful. After a few days I started to get used to it, so I quit.
  • Olivier: I don't understand anything anymore. You're nuts!
  • Olivier: Hey dog, I'm not a thief!
