Quotes 

• Carl Hoffmeyer : You see, Henri, you and Jules are in this business to make money. I am not. I *have* money. My pleasure, my only desire, is to own art treasures money can NOT buy.

  Carl Hoffmeyer : [proceeds to show them some of these art treasures, hidden behind a secret wall] 

  Jules : I don't understand. What pleasure do you get out of it?

  Carl Hoffmeyer : Well, I suppose you'll think I'm crazy, but, you see, to sit quietly all alone at night, in front of treasures - which rightfully belong to the world at large - the only one allowed to admire their unsurpassed beauty, to know that I am the secret owner of a collection that even kings or maharajahs COULD NOT BUY!... THAT is the only satisfaction I get out of life. And I won't rest until I have the 'Mona Lisa.'
