Quotes 

  • Jerry Mulligan : That's... quite a dress you almost have on.

    Milo Roberts : Thanks.

    Jerry Mulligan : What holds it up?

    Milo Roberts : Modesty.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Back home everyone said I didn't have any talent. They might be saying the same thing over here but it sounds better in French.

  • Milo Roberts : [after watching Jerry dismiss a young woman looking at his work]  Do you mind if I have a look, or will you chew my head off too?

    Jerry Mulligan : No, you're all right.

    Milo Roberts : Oh, thank you.

    Jerry Mulligan : She's just one of those third year girls who gripe my liver.

    Milo Roberts : Third year girls?

    Jerry Mulligan : Yeah, you know, American college kids. They come over here to take their third year and lap up a little culture. They give me a swift pain.

    Milo Roberts : Why? They're harmless enough.

    Jerry Mulligan : They're officious and dull. They're always making profound observations they've overheard.

  • Milo Roberts : Why do you make such an issue of money?

    Jerry Mulligan : Because I ain't got any. And when you ain't got any, it takes on a curious significance.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Where is everybody?

    Milo Roberts : Here.

    Jerry Mulligan : Downstairs?

    Milo Roberts : No, here in this room.

    Jerry Mulligan : What about that extra girl?

    Milo Roberts : That's me.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Civilization has a natural resistance to improving itself.

  • Jerry Mulligan : I came to Paris to study and to paint, because Utrillo did, and Lautrec did, and Roualt did. I loved what they created and I thought something would happen to me too. Well, it happened all right. Now, what have I got left? Paris. Maybe that's enough for some, but it isn't for me anymore, because the more beautiful everything is, the more it will hurt without you.

  • Lise Bouvier : Paris has ways of making people forget.

    Jerry Mulligan : Paris? No. Not this city. It's too real and too beautiful to ever let you forget anything. It reaches in and opens you wide and - you stay that way.

  • Jerry Mulligan : With a binding like you've got, people are going to want to know what's in the book.

    Lise Bouvier : What does that mean?

    Jerry Mulligan : Well, primarily, it means you're a very pretty girl.

    Lise Bouvier : I am?

  • Jerry Mulligan : What gets me is, I don't know anything about her. We manage to be together for a few moments and then off she goes. Sometimes we have a wonderful time together and other times it's no fun at all. But I got to be with her.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Hey, uh, how'd you come by all these worldly possessions? A rich husband or a rich father?

    Milo Roberts : Father.

  • Jerry Mulligan : I never touch a guy unless I've known him at least fifteen minutes.

  • [first lines] 

    Jerry Mulligan : This is Paris, and I'm an American who lives here. My name: Jerry Mulligan, and I'm an ex G.I. In 1945, when the army told me to find my own job, I stayed on. And I'll tell you why: I'm a painter, and all my life that's all I've ever wanted to do.

  • Jerry Mulligan : [Narrating]  Brother, if you can't paint in Paris, you better give up and marry the boss's daughter.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Lise, I don't know whether you're a girl of mystery or just a still water that doesn't run deep, but there's one thing I can tell you. I'd been around sooner, you'd know by now that you're very pretty, and I'm not making fun with you.

    [singing] 

    Jerry Mulligan : It's very clear our love is here to stay, Not for a year, but ever and a day, The radio and the telephone, And the movies that we know, May just be passing fancies and in time may go, But, oh my dear, our love is here to stay, Together were going a long, long way, In time the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble, they're only made of clay, But our love is here to stay.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Relax, sister. I'm from Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

  • Jerry Mulligan : When I'm broke I don't eat. When I don't eat, I get tired and depressed. When that happens, the only thing that helps is wine and women.

    Therese : That should be very simple, Monsieur. You are in Paris!

  • Milo Roberts : What's your name?

    Jerry Mulligan : Jerry Mulligan. What's yours?

    Milo Roberts : Milo Roberts.

    Jerry Mulligan : Milo?

    Milo Roberts : Yeah, as in "Venus de".

  • Milo Roberts : By golly, you know, these are good! I've seen hundreds of paintings by young artists and not one has impressed me till these!

    Jerry Mulligan : Yeah? I'm glad. Makes it easier to give up.

    Milo Roberts : Give up?

    Jerry Mulligan : Yeah. It's kind of hard for an artist to sell. A writer, a composer can buy a copy of what they create. But, with a painter, it's the original that counts. Once that's gone, it's out of his life.

  • Milo Roberts : Will that be satisfactory?

    Jerry Mulligan : That'll be good and satisfactory.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Are you sure you know what you're doing?

    Milo Roberts : What do you care?

  • Lise Bouvier : I would like to return to my friends.

    Jerry Mulligan : I thought you were bored with them. You sure looked it.

    Lise Bouvier : You should see me now.

    Jerry Mulligan : Ouch.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Say, there's a very special doll sitting over there. Do you happen to know who she is?

    Tommy Baldwin : No. But she is lovely, isn't she?

    Jerry Mulligan : She sure is.

  • Lise Bouvier : It's a pity you don't have as much charm as you have persistence.

    Jerry Mulligan : But, I have! You've only seen the aggressive side of me. I have a lighter side. I'm loaded with charm. I go to parties, put on hats, and do funny things.

  • Jerry Mulligan : You wear that and the Frenchmen will never let you go back to Milwaukee.

  • Lise Bouvier : You're a painter? You don't look like a painter.

    Jerry Mulligan : There are those, dear lady, who'll say I don't paint like one either. But that doesn't bother me. Discouragement stimulates me.

    Lise Bouvier : Oh, that much about you, I know.

  • Jerry Mulligan : Candy. Would you like some?

    Lise Bouvier : Oh. I couldn't eat a whole one.

    Jerry Mulligan : Go ahead. Try. The night's young. We should live dangerously!

  • Jerry Mulligan : But mark me well, one of these days the world will ring with the name Mulligan. Picasso will be remembered as the forerunner of Mulligan. This tree will be famous because it was painted by Mulligan.

  • Henri Baurel : [to Adam]  Jerry has some problem and I'd like to hear about it.

    Jerry Mulligan : It's pretty complicated, Hank. Well, I'll make it brief. There's a gal who's sponsoring me - and she's really helping me a lot, but, well, she's stuck on me. Now, there's a girl I'm stuck on. She doesn't know about the first one.

    Henri Baurel : Naturally. So far this is very ordinary.

  • Adam Cook : Why are you so glum?

    Jerry Mulligan : I got woman trouble.

    Adam Cook : Well, that proves you're a man.

  • Lise Bouvier : Oh, Jerry, we have so little time together. Can't we have our own special world and not talk about anything that happens when we're apart? I - I promise you I'll never ask what you do when you're not with me.

    Jerry Mulligan : Well, I suppose it's just as well.

    Lise Bouvier : What?

    Jerry Mulligan : Nothing.

    Lise Bouvier : Why? What do you do when you're not with me?

  • Lise Bouvier : Oh, Jerry, it's so dreadful standing next to you like this - and not having your arms around me.

    Jerry Mulligan : You'll always be standing next to me, Lise.

  • Jerry Mulligan : I want some champagne!

    Milo Roberts : So do I! They all seem a bottle ahead of us!

  • Jerry Mulligan : Wait, my foot! You must be out of your mink-lined head!

  • Jerry Mulligan : Madame, you're delicious.

  • Jerry Mulligan : [singing]  This time it's really love, Tra la-la la

    Adam Cook : To me you're full of, Blah, blah, blah...

  • Jerry Mulligan : That finger on your left hand is awfully naked.

  • Henri Baurel : [singing]  She's made my life so glamorous

    Jerry Mulligan : You can't blame me for feeling amorous

    Henri Baurel , Jerry Mulligan : Oh! 'S wonderful, 'S marvelous, That she should care for me...
