Quotes 

• Julie : Liliane ran off with the stuntman.

  Joelle : Does Alphonse know?

  Julie : I had to tell him.

  Joelle : With the stuntman? I'd drop a guy for a film. I'd never drop a film for a guy!

• Ferrand : Tell him the car crash we're shooting tomorrow will be in American night.

  Julie : What is American night?

  Ferrand : A night scene shot in daylight with a special filter.

  Julie : Ah, day for night.

• Alexandre : How's your mother?

  Julie : Very good. I told her we were working together. She sends her love.

  Alexandre : Marvelous woman! Everyone in Hollywood loved her. Too bad she quit when she did.

  Julie : But she's still very busy.

  Alexandre : She hated the way we shoot movies - in bits and pieces! I remember escorting her to the premiere of her first big Hollywood movie. A fantastic evening! When the film ended, she sat there, then turned to me and said: "I did all that? All I remember is the waiting."

  Julie : It's so true!

• Julie : He loves you and wants to marry you.

  Liliane, la stagiaire scripte : He mentioned marriage, I didn't! Just the word gives me the creeps. Anyway, he needs a wife, a mistress, a nanny, a nurse, a sister. I can't play all those roles!

• Alphonse : You see, I've made a terrible discovery. You can be desperately in love with someone you despise, whose every gesture, word and thought you detest!

  Julie : What right have you to say that? Say you made a mistake but never be ashamed of having loved. By despising Liliane, you're merely degrading yourself.

  Alphonse : Maybe you're right. Anyway, my love affairs have always ended badly. I thought women were magic.

  Julie : Of course they're not magic. Or men are too. Everyone's magic, and no one is.

• Ferrand : We do the kitchen scene tomorrow.

  Julie : Can I have my lines?

  Ferrand : After dinner tonight.

  Julie : That's not much time!

  Ferrand : It's not written yet. Read it once and put it under your pillow. In the morning, you'll know it by heart!

  Julie : Optimist, huh!

• Julie : I'm sick of disguises. I'm quitting movies. I know that life is rotten.

• Interviewer : Can you tell us about your new movie?

  Julie : "Meet Pamela" is the story of a British girl who falls in love with her husband's father. I think it's based on a true story.
