Madame Anais
- Madame Anais: I have an idea. Would you like to be called "Belle de Jour"?
- Séverine Serizy: Belle de Jour?
- Madame Anais: Since you only come in the afternoons.
- Séverine Serizy: If you wish.
- Madame Anais: You'll meet the other two girls soon. Mathilde and Charlotte. Both very nice. I only tolerate well-bred people here and they must be cheerful. I want people to enjoy their work. Just last week I had to let a girl go. Very beautiful, too. But she was too vulgar. It's a shame.
- Madame Anais: You're nice and fresh. Just what they like here. I know it's hard at first, but who doesn't need money now and then? We'll split it fifty-fifty. I have my expenses.
- Séverine Serizy: Thank you very much, but I must be going.
- Madame Anais: Come on. You're just a bit nervous. I bet it's the first time you've worked. It's not really so awful.
- Madame Anais: We'll have a little something to celebrate your arrival.
- Séverine Serizy: No, thank you.
- Madame Anais: I insist. Cherries in brandy.
- Madame Anais: You look a bit nervous. Relax. You'll be out at 5:00. Don't worry. You have someone waiting for you? A boyfriend? A husband? Oh, don't think I'm prying. Kiss me.
- Monsieur Adolphe: It wasn't cold enough. Champagne over 46 degrees taste like tea.
- Madame Anais: Sorry. If I'd known, I'd have put it in the fridge.
- Monsieur Adolphe: You knew I was coming.
- Madame Anais: But not that Belle de jour was.
- Monsieur Adolphe: [toast] To the person I care most about - - me!
- Madame Anais: And to Belle de jour.
- Madame Anais: You're doing fine. You're a big hit already. Mr. Adolphe is a simple man, so don't get upset. Do what he wants. That's all he asks.
- Séverine Serizy: No, I want to go.
- Madame Anais: What? You about done putting on airs? Where do you think you are? Go on!
- Séverine Serizy: Who's Hippolyte?
- Charlotte: Wait and see. An odd sort of guy.
- Mathilde: When he has money he throws it around.
- Charlotte: And when he's broke, he wants it for free.
- Madame Anais: [Enters] Come on, girls. All three of you.
- Charlotte: Where have you been?
- Hyppolite: Traveling in New York. Business. Put three bottles on ice. The good stuff.
- Madame Anais: My best.
- Hyppolite: From Paris straight to heaven. What I miss most abroad is French champagne and sexy gals like you.
