Love in the Afternoon (1972)

Frédérique Hender: Mme. M.

Quotes 

• Mme. M. : Your occupations are more closely aligned, aren't they?

  Frédéric : Hélène knows nothing about my work.

  Chloé : He doesn't even know the title of my thesis.

  Frédéric : Though you did get me interested in English again. I'm reading about Captain Cook's exciting adventures in the original.

• Mme. M. : Your wife is terrific too. She's great. You're really lucky. Don't go cheating on her now.

  Frédéric : Don't worry. I don't intend to.

  Mme. M. : I wouldn't bet on it. Not the way you look at girls.

  Frédéric : What girls?

  Mme. M. : All the girls. In bars, in the street, you're secretaries. I've seen the little smiles.

• Frédéric : Milena had me in a blindfold. I was her slave. But now I trust Hélène and she trusts me. We allow each other to look around. I needn't account for every thought, word or deed. And she needn't either.

  Mme. M. : I think you're keeping your exits open. Not for right now, but even the prettiest woman gets boring.
