  Mayor Hugo Leonnec : Get out of this town, you shameless pauper!

• Jean Leonnec : She is pure as an angel - - and I love her. When I come of age I'm going to marry her.

• Marise La Noue : What is it?

  Jean Leonnec : It's tomorrow.

• Bo-Bo : Why worry about *one* woman? There are plenty more in Paris.

  Jean Leonnec : None like her... she has the face of an angel!

  Bo-Bo : I know... I had one like that... once.

• Jean Leonnec : [at the train station, after he and Marise have just arrived in Paris from Vivonne]  I'll inquire where we can be married. I won't be long.

  [heads off, leaving Marise behind to wait for him...] 

• Bo-Bo : [at night, as Jean is standing on the bank of the Seine, peering into the dark waters]  The water's cold, son.

  Jean Leonnec : I wasn't thinking of that, I - I - was looking for someone.

  Bo-Bo : Woman?

  Jean Leonnec : [forlornly nods his head "yes"] 

  Bo-Bo : Expect to find her in there?

  Jean Leonnec : [with sad expression on his face]  Perhaps.

• Jean Leonnec : [In the hospital, kneeling and praying at Marise's bedside]  Merciful Father, hear me, a sinner - bring her back to me.

  Jean Leonnec : [continues, now addressing Marise]  You can't die... You must live... I'll make it up to you for all these years... I love you... I love you -...
