Alice Sénéchal
- [the Senechals are preparing to make love. There is a knock at the door]
- Henri Sénéchal: What is it?
- Ines: The guests are here, sir.
- Henri Sénéchal: Tell them we'll be down. Serve them drinks.
- Alice Sénéchal: They can wait five minutes. Come on.
- Henri Sénéchal: No, no, not here. We can't.
- Alice Sénéchal: But why?
- Henri Sénéchal: You scream too loud. You know it.
- Henri Sénéchal: Any news from Miranda?
- Rafael Acosta: Yes.
- Henri Sénéchal: The situation?
- Rafael Acosta: Quite calm.
- Henri Sénéchal: And the guerrillas?
- Rafael Acosta: There are a few left. They are a part of our folklore.
- Alice Sénéchal: You have problems with the students?
- Rafael Acosta: Students are young. They must have some fun.
- Simone Thévenot: How's your government treating them?
- Rafael Acosta: We are not against the students, but what can you do with a room full of flies? You take a fly-swatter and Bang! Bang!
- 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?
