Quotes
-
Chantal : A man is a man until he marries, then he becomes a husband!
-
Chantal : [Cooking over the stove] Oh, mama, what's the use? Whom am I ever gonna get a chance to cook *for*? Do you realize that nobody's asked me to marry him in a week?
Germaine Stacy : Your fire is much too high. Let it simmer. You, Chantal, should simmer also.
-
Chantal : No, no, Mr. Wright. Even thought I am half-French, when a perfect stranger tells you that his interest in you is purely physical... Mon dieu!
Eugene : Yeah, but you didn't let me finish. I'd like you to come over to my place tomorrow at 2 o'clock. Ten dollars an hour.
Chantal : [slaps him]
-
Chantal : Don't you two ever sleep?
John Stacy : Speaking for myself, I haven't had a decent night's sleep since you turned 15. Charlotte, haven't you ever thought of marriage?
Chantal : Mmhm. It's fine, I guess, for older people.
John Stacy : I see. Well, maybe you should continue your education, at some nice girls' school.
Chantal : But father, I'm learning dentistry from Richard, law from Howard, and business administration from Tom. Keeping my dates talking, like Mama suggested, has given me quite a liberal education.
Germaine Stacy : What did you learn tonight?
Chantal : Mama, did you know that gingivitis...
John Stacy : And why must you keep your dates talking?
Chantal : So they won't make love to me all the time.
John Stacy : In heaven's name, get married!
-
Chantal : He's your idea, you dreamed him up, you make him go away!
-
Chantal : Oh, mama, I am so afraid.
Germaine Stacy : Of love?
Chantal : Of being disappointed in it.
Germaine Stacy : Shoo-shoo, if you come to love and say to it "If you're so wonderful, please me, satisfy me, fulfill me", then you probably will be disappointed. It all depends on what you yourself bring to it. Don't you disappoint love.
