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.
