Reagan
- Reagan, the American Reporter: [as Rollo approaches the guillotine] Tough luck kid!
- Rollo the Knife Thrower: We all get it in the neck someday.
- Reagan, the American Reporter: It's the old story. The old family doctor stuck on a girl and tries to plant a murder on her husband to get rid of him. He's been doing something mighty queer with Rollo's body.
- Assistant Prefect: Here's the American journalist you sent for.
- Reagan, the American Reporter: [to Assistant] Hiya, kid.
- [to Rosset]
- Reagan, the American Reporter: Hello, chief.
- Prefect Rosset: Ah, Monsieur Regan. You're the gentleman who's going to cover this execution?
- Reagan, the American Reporter: Yeah, I wish they'd cover it so I can't see it. You know I got a weak stomach.
- Prefect Rosset: This Rollo is an American.
- Reagan, the American Reporter: Yes, that's why it'd make a good story for our paper.
- Prefect Rosset: The fact is we're anxious to avoid undue sensationalism in the American papers.
- Reagan, the American Reporter: Oh, I know what you mean. I'll use a soft pencil.
- Prefect Rosset: Thank you. And if as you say your nerves are a little weak, I suggest you bring a flask of cognac.
- Reagan, the American Reporter: Nah, gin, chief. Gin for executions, beer for birthdays, wine for weddings, and champagne...
- [kisses fingertips]
- Reagan, the American Reporter: oh ho, champagne!
- Prefect Rosset: For what?
- Reagan, the American Reporter: You ask that and you're a Frenchman?
- Reagan, the American Reporter: [referring to statue of Yvonne, disappointed] Oh, it's wax. And I thought I had a front page murder.
