Quotes 

• Section Director Alec Drummond : Well, it's about Inspector Clouseau. MI5 called and reported that Libyan agents heard a rumor that there might be an assassination attempt against Clouseau.

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : Really? Who else wants to kill him? I mean, who is behind it?

• Sergeant Francois Duval : Clouseau was trying to fix the lighter. He is sure that someone planted a bomb in the car.

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : Yes. Someone should have... I mean, could have done that.

• Sergeant Francois Duval : Clouseau called. He wants me to take him to the airport.

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : [taking his blood pressure]  Then take him. Let the president of Lugash worry about his blood pressure a while.

  Sergeant Francois Duval : He's not going to Lugash.

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : What?

  Sergeant Francois Duval : He's booked on the 12:15 flight to London. He suspects the Phantom to be responsible for the robbery. He said that since Sir Charles lives in England...

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : Sir Charles Litton lives in the south of France.

  Sergeant Francois Duval : Yes, sir. Shall I tell him?

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : Don't bother. He would just say, "I know that."

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : [still taking his blood pressure, the mercury begins to bolt higher] 

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : Trying to talk sense to Clouseau, is like Einstein trying to explain relativity to a "minkey."

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : [the mercury from the blood pressure meter explodes, Dreyfus freaks out] 

• Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : The thought of a world without Clouseau fills me with delight.

• Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : How many men did the President ask for?

  Deputy Comissioner Lasorde : Only one. Inspector Jacques Clouseau.

• Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : Miss Jouvet, may I suggest that you go home and forget all about this.

  Sergeant Francois Duval : Excuse me.

  Marie Jouvet : I shall tell you exactly where I am going to go - directly to me office, where I shall write my next broadcast about the Mafia boss who kidnapped me, and about the chief inspector of the surute who refused to do anything about it.

  Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus : In my opinion, that would be most unwise.

  Marie Jouvet : What it boils down to, Inspector, is, I don't trust your opinion.
