- [subtitled version]
- Bob Montagné: I was born here. It was not so dirty then. And I left to conquer the world. I was fourteen when I left my mother.
- Anne: Did you go far?
- Bob Montagné: Yes... a mile away.
- Anne: And your father?
- Bob Montagné: I use my mother's name.
- Anne: She was unlucky with you both.
- Bob Montagné: I returned ten years later, early one morning. I saw an old woman on her knees, scrubbing away, as she always had. That's how I recognized her. I left without a word. Then I sent her a postal order each month. One month it was sent back. She had stopped scrubbing.

- Anne: I don't need a guardian.
- Bob Montagné: No. Just a spanking. It's dangerous to listen to a sidewalk Romeo.
- Anne: Defending widows and orphans?
- Bob Montagné: One more crack and you'll get your spanking.
- Anne: Dare you!
- Bob Montagné: He says, "No cards." I think he's bluffing. I lay out my three aces. Him, a full house.
- Paolo: Shit!
- Bob Montagné: Right you are.
- Marc: Help me. I need some dough to hide out. I phoned you, but there was no answer.
- Bob Montagné: Come in. How much?
- Marc: About 100,000. I beat on Lydia a little too hard. She's at the hospital. She may turn me in. I've already done time for pimping.
- Bob Montagné: Who told you?
- Roger: Jean Visieu, a croupier.
- Bob Montagné: An old pal?
- Roger: Yeah, but his wife clipped his wings.
- Bob Montagné: Dames like to get even at times.
- Bob Montagné: I drew a plan of the casino from memory, but it's vague. We need to get the exact plan. But how?
- Roger: I know a way. Not very pretty, but...
- Bob Montagné: Nothing but the safe is pretty in all of this.
- Bob Montagné: I hear you're in on a deal with Marc?
- Paolo: Yes, a little heist that pays fine.
- Bob Montagné: It'll land you in the joint. Stay out of it.
- Paolo: But...
- Bob Montagné: No, I mean it! Marc's no good.
- Bob Montagné: Why the suitcase? Selling shoelaces?
- Anne: No. I'm moving. The hotel owner has dumb rules. She insists I pay my rent.
- Bob Montagné: Huh, people you owe money to always have dumb rules.
- Paolo: What's wrong? What's with that look?
- Roger: Some asshole talked.
- Bob Montagné: To a woman.
- Paolo: What's it to me?
- Roger: The asshole is you.
- Paolo: Hey!
- Bob Montagné: Act tough in bed. Not here. I told you never to tell a dame anything.
- Bob Montagné: Is this a sermon?
- Le commissaire Ledru: No. I just wanted to chat.
- Bob Montagné: Your chat's like an interrogation.
- Croupier: Chips are down. No more bets.
