- [nighttime scene with Armand and Eliane playing erotic games in the darkened shop]
- Armand: Now, go outside and walk the street.
- Eliane Michoud: [partially undressed] You mean like this?
- Armand: Don't be a stupid whore. Go out of your pharmacy, madam, and walk back and forth. You're open for business.
- [pauses, seeing her hesitation]
- Armand: You say you won't do it? You're hard to get.
- Eliane Michoud: No, I'll do it... uh. I'll do it.
- Armand: Just a minute.
- [tears her underwear from beneath her slip]
- Armand: That's better. Get your ass moving. And you come in only when I tell you.
- Armand: [holding a scalpel to her breast] If I wanted to torture you, I bet you'd like that. If I wanted to cut you, even kill you, I bet you'd like that too.
- Eliane Michoud: You've already done that. You can't do it twice.
- [first lines]
- [crowd cheers a parade of departing troops]
- Juliette: Bon voyage! Viva la France!
- Marching Soldier: [to Armand] Draft dodger!
- Armand: [makes obscene gesture to soldier]
- [turns to a laughing Juliette and playfully slaps her behind]
- Juliette: Don't touch, draft dodger.
- Armand: In five minutes, I see you in the back.
- Juliette: If you're lucky, big boy.
- Armand: Always.
- Eliane Michoud: [calling her from inside the shop] Juliette!
- Juliette: [hurriying inside] Yes, madam!
- Armand: The Master's call...
- Armand: Forgive me, but... but I love you.
- Eliane Michoud: [pause] I understand, but tell me something. What were you thinking of? I'm not that kind of woman. I am married and respectable. And perhaps that simple fact has less importance for you than it has for me. And there's something else too. If one day, for some reason or another, I were to do what you were thinking of, you would never be the one.
- Armand: I wouldn't, huh?
- Eliane Michoud: Forgive me, but... we're not in the same... I mean, uh, we don't have the same kind of interests.
- [approaches her with a menacing look]
- Eliane Michoud: [alarmed] What is this? Keep away from me!
- Armand: Want to see?
- Eliane Michoud: What are you doing?
- Armand: [grabs her arms] Want to see what your interests really are?
- [a hidden Armand teases Eliane from beneath the counter while she talks to Justine]
- [Justine leaves]
- Armand: Wasn't it funny?
- Eliane Michoud: Armand... please. Armand, why don't you leave me alone? Why do you torture me like this? Armand, what have I done to you? What is it you want, a scandal?
- [follows him as he walks away]
- Eliane Michoud: That was Justine, she's my daughter. She's my daughter, do you understand that? What is it you want? It's money, isn't it? That must be it, it's money.
- Armand: You have no sense of humor, madam. Anyone ever tell you that? Even your shopgirl is more amusing.
- Eliane Michoud: Well, if it isn't money, then what is it you want? What is it? Why?
- Armand: [pause] And you, madam? What do you want?
