Love in the Afternoon (1957)

John McGiver: Monsieur X

Quotes 

• Monsieur X : Please, monsieur, is the news good or bad?

  Claude Chavasse : That depends. Is this your wife?

  [Hands over a photograph] 

  Monsieur X : It looks like her.

  Claude Chavasse : Then I regret to inform you that it looks bad.

  Monsieur X : Then there IS another man!

  Claude Chavasse : There is. And I regret to say that he looks good.

• Claude Chavasse : You do realize that this is cold-blooded murder.

  Monsieur X : I do.

  Claude Chavasse : And that you might spend years in jail?

  Monsieur X : I may.

  Claude Chavasse : Is there nothing I can say to dissuade you from this foolhardy scheme?

  Monsieur X : Nothing whatsoever.

  Claude Chavasse : In that case, Monsieur, you leave me no choice. I must insist on being paid as of right now.

  Monsieur X : Oh, how much?

  Claude Chavasse : 60,000 francs... It should really be more because with Mr. Flannagan removed, there will be a sharp drop in my business.

• Monsieur X : When a man sweats in the morning it's either because he's had a very good night, or a very bad night.

  Monsieur X : Personally, I've had a very good night.
