Trelkovsky
- Trelkovsky: [while looking at himself in the mirror] Beautiful. Adorable. Goddess. Divine. Divine! I think I'm pregnant.
- Trelkovsky: Tell me, at what precise moment - does an individual stop being who he thinks he is?
- Stella: You know, I don't like complications.
- Trelkovsky: You cut off my arm. I say, "Me - and my arm." You cut off my other arm. I say, "Me and my two arms." You - take out - take out my stomach, my kidneys, assuming that were possible. And I say, "Me and my intestines." Do you follow me? And now, if you cut off my head - would I say, "Me and my head" or "Me and my body"? What right has my head to call itself me? What right?
- Stella: Why don't you take your tie off? You look like you're choking to death.
- Trelkovsky: I found a tooth in my apartment. It was in a hole.
- Trelkovsky: These days, relationships with neighbors can be... quite complicated. You know, little things that get blown up out of all proportion? You know what I mean?
- Stella's Friend: No, no I don't. I mind my own business.
- Trelkovsky: [talking to himself]
- [he opens a box and takes out a pair of shoes]
- Trelkovsky: Oh! My! Where did you find these? They are beautiful! A size 68? I had *no* idea!
- Trelkovsky: You want me to do it again? I shall do it again! You did not like it the first time.
- [shouts]
- Trelkovsky: Simone Choule does not disappoint!
- Trelkovsky: Please, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to criticize your apartment, but the toilet is a problem. Suppose I got sick, which I don't often do, I can assure you of that, and I had to relieve myself in the middle of the night. It wouldn't be very convenient, would it?
- Trelkovsky: There is something odd going on in my building. I quite often see people in the toilets, on the other side of the courtyard.
- Simon: What are you? A peeping Tom, now?
- Scope: You mean, people together in the shithouse? Like an orgy?
- Trelkovsky: No, no, they just stand there for hours, you know? Absolutely dead still.
- Scope: They're obviously playing with themselves.
- Trelkovsky: Not at all.
- Simon: He just told you. They stand dead still. Can you play with yourself without moving?
- Trelkovsky: Could it have been a disappointment in love, perhaps? Something like that?
- Stella: Who with?
- Trelkovsky: I don't know. Some man.
- Stella: You know she wasn't interested in men.
- Trelkovsky: Oh, yes, I know, but - women as sensitive as she was, she is, I mean, often tend to have - much more complicated relationships than they seem to.
- Trelkovsky: Do you sell cigarettes?
- Cafe Owner: Yes. What would you like?
- Trelkovsky: Gauloises bleues, please.
- Georges Badar: Is this Simone Choule's apartment?
- Trelkovsky: Yes. It used to be. I'm the new tenant.
