  • Petite Feuille: Doinel, if your paper is first today, it's because I've decided to give the results beginning with the worst.

  • Petite Feuille: [to his classroom of students] Poor France will be in a sorry shape in ten years!
  • Petite Feuille: Now, Doinel, go get something to win that rubbish off the wall, or I'll make you lick it off, my friend!
  • Petite Feuille: We have a young Juvenal in our class, though he doesn't know an Alexandrine from blank verse. Doinel, for tomorrow you will conjugate.
