Brigitte Bardot: Agnès Dumont

Plucking the Daisy

Agnès Dumont

Agnès Dumont: I don't like your friend.
Roger Vital: He's not a bad guy. Just a womanizer, pretentious, not so smart and spineless as they come. His only real flaw is that he is a hypocrite.
Agnès Dumont: How awful!
Roger Vital: No. No. He's not the worst there is. He hasn't murdered anyone. At least, not yet.

Agnès Dumont: He's a lecher!
Daniel Roy: I should've warned you. Poor Roger is a victim of his disgusting vices.
Agnès Dumont: I noticed.

Daniel Roy: Describe the man of your dreams.
Agnès Dumont: Dark-haired, nonchalant, a bit rude, not too handsome, and charming.
Daniel Roy: That's me.
Agnès Dumont: Finding the man of your dreams isn't hard. What's hard is...
Daniel Roy: For him to love you.
Agnès Dumont: To be sure he loves me.

Agnès Dumont: What was it like the first time?
Martine: Until you show your breasts, it's not hard. Then you just try to think about something else.
Agnès Dumont: I'll try.
Martine: At least a striptease is honest. You're paid to show your backside, they pay to see it. Everyone's happy. No hypocrisy.

Agnès Dumont: [Masked and pretending to be an Italian, Sophia] Get out!
Daniel Roy: After what I've seen, I couldn't.
Agnès Dumont: I call-a the manager!
Daniel Roy: It's the only way to get rid of me.
Agnès Dumont: I slap-a you!
Daniel Roy: Slap me, bite me, tear me to bits. My broken body will shout, "You're beautiful!"
["Sophia" walks away]
Daniel Roy: Stop right there. Stop right there.
Agnès Dumont: Perché?
Daniel Roy: You're in front of the light, and your robe is transparent.
Agnès Dumont: What you-a want from me? You love-a me?
Daniel Roy: I never said that.
Agnès Dumont: Grazie.
[Daniel tries to take off "Sophia"'s mask]
Agnès Dumont: Momento. What if you-a disappointed without the mask?
Daniel Roy: Something tells me I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Agnès Dumont: Something tells me you-a rotten bastardo!

Agnès Dumont: What's Sophia like?
Daniel Roy: Beautiful.
Agnès Dumont: You're in love with her?
Daniel Roy: No, with you.
Agnès Dumont: Why were you in her dressing room?
Daniel Roy: Don't be silly. I'm not a kid. When I say I love you, I mean it. I saw that girl and desired her. These things happen.
Agnès Dumont: How convenient. I love you, but I desire another. So go to her! Good-bye!

Daniel Roy: I'll lend you some pajamas.
Agnès Dumont: I have a confession to make, but, it's not easy.
Daniel Roy: Your father is not a general?
Agnès Dumont: He is. It's about Sophia. How sweet of you to give her up.
Daniel Roy: Sweet? No way. I've had tons of girls like that. In the morning, I don't know how to get rid of them.
Agnès Dumont: Maybe it'd be different with Sophia.
Daniel Roy: A girl who strips for an audience could never be truthful.

Agnès Dumont: Stay.
Daniel Roy: If I stay, you know what will happen.
Agnès Dumont: Yes, darling. Stay.
Daniel Roy: No.
Agnès Dumont: If Sophia asked, you'd stay.
Daniel Roy: Yes. Yes, with her I would. But you, I respect you. First time that happened. Amazed? Not as much as me.
[Daniel leaves]
Agnès Dumont: Gosh dang it! What's she have that I don't?

Agnès Dumont: Quick! Come in.
Sophia: What are you doing here? You're crying?
Agnès Dumont: What a jerk! Brute! Pig! He'll pay for it!
Sophia: Che cosa succede?
Agnès Dumont: My fiancé.
Agnès Dumont: You're engaged?
Agnès Dumont: He said he loved me.
Sophia: How sweet.
Agnès Dumont: No, it's awful! He said it yesterday too.
Sophia: To another girl? Who?
Agnès Dumont: Me!
Sophia: Ma va tutto bene allora!
Agnès Dumont: No, it's not.
Sophia: I don't understand.
Agnès Dumont: It's quite simple. There are two mes. Me, Agnès and me, Sophia.
Sophia: Wait. I'm Sophia.
Agnès Dumont: No, I am!
Sophia: Since when?
Agnès Dumont: Two days ago.
Sophia: Who are you right now?
Agnès Dumont: I don't know. I'm so miserable.
Sophia: I think I missed something. Start over, piano, piano, and speak clearly.
