Anton
- Sam: Anton, can I ask you something?
- Anton: Sure you can.
- Sam: Do you ever get homesick? I mean, do you ever want to go back to France?
- Anton: You know, I was never so much French until I came here. You know Superman?
- Sam: Uh-huh.
- Anton: Well, that's me. I'm Superman.
- [all the cooks laugh loudly and syncophantically]
- Anton: And France was like Krypton. You know, on Krypton everybody was Superman. You make a nice sauce, everybody makes a nice sauce. You say hello to a woman with your French accent, everybody say hello!
- [all the cooks yodel "hello" with gusto]
- Anton: But here, here on Earth, this is the place where I knew I had special powers. I tell the bankers about my little village in France, and they all say, how brave and amazing you are, Anton. I could read the phone book to a woman and they become hypnotized, wet as morning daisies.
- Anton: I like a man who fights for what he wants. But if you ever mess with me again, I'll rip out your eyes and rape your skull. Excuse my French.
- Anton: [about Linda] I can't imagine another man touching her hair, her hips, her panties. OH, GOD, her panties!
- [finding out that Sam has been working with Maggie, Anton goes berserk and starts beating him up, then realizes what he's doing and sinks into a corner of the room]
- Anton: Maggie... was my angel. She brought me here. I was nothing before I met her, just a waiter in a little cafe in Paris. And yeah... I used her. I used her terribly. But I told myself it didn't matter, because I was sure that I would grow to love her. I thought, if I could just love her, it would be all right. The shame would go away. You can't choose who you love, Mike... or whoever the hell you are. And I love Linda. I love Linda.
- [sobs]
- Anton: More than anything! Who the hell do you think you are to judge? Who the hell do you think you are?
- Sam: I'm nobody, Anton. I'm nobody. Nobody to nobody.
