Catherine Deneuve: Irène de Fontenoy

A Slightly Pregnant Man

Irène de Fontenoy

Conseiller: Does he still believe in the tooth fairy?
Irène de Fontenoy: Yes. The tooth fairy, Santa, all that stuff.
Conseiller: I think brainwashing them like that is just ridiculous.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: I agree. Filling kids' heads with stories about fairies, Santa, and God will turn them into nothing but half-wits.
Conseiller: I agree about the fairies and Santa, but not God. God exists, my dear.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: That's a good one! You hear that Irène?
Irène de Fontenoy: I believe in it all. Everything astonishes me.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: You're that gullible?
Irène de Fontenoy: I'm still a little girl inside.

Irène de Fontenoy: How are things going, Clarisse?
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon: Terrible. How could they go? And where would they go anyway?

Irène de Fontenoy: Strawberries! My love, strawberries in February - what madness! They're delicious. I craved strawberries when I was pregnant with Lucas, remember?

Irène de Fontenoy: You mean it's true?
Gérard Chaumont de Latour: Yes, Madame. Your husband is pregnant.
Irène de Fontenoy: Pregnant? By whom?
Dr. Delavigne: By you, dear lady.
Irène de Fontenoy: That can't be true. Not by me. I'm gullible, but not that gullible

Une cliente du salon: If men start having children, the pill will be sold everywhere.
Janine, une coiffeuse: There'll be abortions on demand.
Irène de Fontenoy: No industrialist would abandon his factory for two months. He'd get an abortion.
Une cliente du salon: And no jail!

Irène de Fontenoy: We were just discussing that at the salon and we all agreed. Man will finally be equal to woman, able to do everything she can. It's a great relief for us.

Marco Mazetti: Tell me who called.
Irène de Fontenoy: Playboy! Playboy called three times about a four-page color spread.
Marco Mazetti: With you?
Irène de Fontenoy: Why me? You're the one they're interested in.

Gérard Chaumont de Latour: It's true. Your husband is perfectly normal.
Dr. Delavigne: He's not a homosexual.
Gérard Chaumont de Latour: Please, Dr. Delavigne. You know that homosexuals can't have children. Only a man and a woman can. In the case at hand it's simply a reversal, or rather, a transferal.
Irène de Fontenoy: I must be going mad!
Marco Mazetti: What about me? I'm the one having the baby!

Gérard Chaumont de Latour: You know what our worst enemy is? Our food. The shamelessly adulterated food we ingest daily. Daily absorption of these artificial products leads in the long term to a total transformation of our organism.
Dr. Delavigne: The famous "hormone-fed chickens" theory.
Irène de Fontenoy: Good God!

Irène de Fontenoy: Dad and I have wonderful news. You're going to have a little brother or sister.
Lucas: You're not even fat.
Irène de Fontenoy: That's because this time, Daddy's going to have the baby. What do you think of that?
Lucas: I don't care who has it, but you told me it was women who got fat.
Marco Mazetti: That was before. Now it's going to change.
Lucas: Because of woman's lib?
Irène de Fontenoy: No, not really. Men have decided to give women a hand.
Lucas: Did you put the little seed inside Dad?
Marco Mazetti: Well, we don't really know.
Lucas: Is it a new process?
Marco Mazetti: Something like that.
