Conseiller : Does he still believe in the tooth fairy?
Irène de Fontenoy : Yes. The tooth fairy, Santa, all that stuff.
Conseiller : I think brainwashing them like that is just ridiculous.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon : I agree. Filling kids' heads with stories about fairies, Santa, and God will turn them into nothing but half-wits.
Conseiller : I agree about the fairies and Santa, but not God. God exists, my dear.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon : That's a good one! You hear that Irène?
Irène de Fontenoy : I believe in it all. Everything astonishes me.
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon : You're that gullible?
Irène de Fontenoy : I'm still a little girl inside.

Irène de Fontenoy : How are things going, Clarisse?
Clarisse de Saint-Clair, une cliente du salon : Terrible. How could they go? And where would they go anyway?

Irène de Fontenoy : My sweetheart.
Marco Mazetti : Mia topolina.
Irène de Fontenoy : What's that?
Marco Mazetti : Like a little rat.
Irène de Fontenoy : I'm a rat?
Marco Mazetti : I don't know the French word.
Irène de Fontenoy : Good excuse!
-

Irène de Fontenoy : You mean it's true?
Gérard Chaumont de Latour : Yes, Madame. Your husband is pregnant.
Irène de Fontenoy : Pregnant? By whom?
Dr. Delavigne : By you, dear lady.

-
Une cliente du salon : If men start having children, the pill will be sold everywhere.
Janine, une coiffeuse : There'll be abortions on demand.
Irène de Fontenoy : No industrialist would abandon his factory for two months. He'd get an abortion.
Une cliente du salon : And no jail!
-
Irène de Fontenoy : We were just discussing that at the salon and we all agreed. Man will finally be equal to woman, able to do everything she can. It's a great relief for us.
-
Marco Mazetti : Tell me who called.
Irène de Fontenoy : Playboy! Playboy called three times about a four-page color spread.
Marco Mazetti : With you?
Irène de Fontenoy : Why me? You're the one they're interested in.
-
Gérard Chaumont de Latour : It's true. Your husband is perfectly normal.
Dr. Delavigne : He's not a homosexual.
Gérard Chaumont de Latour : Please, Dr. Delavigne. You know that homosexuals can't have children. Only a man and a woman can. In the case at hand it's simply a reversal, or rather, a transferal.
Irène de Fontenoy : I must be going mad!
Marco Mazetti : What about me? I'm the one having the baby!
-
Gérard Chaumont de Latour : You know what our worst enemy is? Our food. The shamelessly adulterated food we ingest daily. Daily absorption of these artificial products leads in the long term to a total transformation of our organism.
Dr. Delavigne : The famous "hormone-fed chickens" theory.
Irène de Fontenoy : Good God!

Irène de Fontenoy : Dad and I have wonderful news. You're going to have a little brother or sister.
Lucas : You're not even fat.
Irène de Fontenoy : That's because this time, Daddy's going to have the baby. What do you think of that?
Lucas : I don't care who has it, but you told me it was women who got fat.
Marco Mazetti : That was before. Now it's going to change.
Lucas : Because of woman's lib?
Irène de Fontenoy : No, not really. Men have decided to give women a hand.
Lucas : Did you put the little seed inside Dad?
Marco Mazetti : Well, we don't really know.
Lucas : Is it a new process?
Marco Mazetti : Something like that.

Un copain de Ginou : When Ginou said she knew you, I wanted to meet you.
Ginou : It's his dream.
Irène de Fontenoy : I understand.
Un copain de Ginou : It's wild. You must feel like you're becoming a girl.
Marco Mazetti : Not really.
Irène de Fontenoy : So you'd like to change sex?
Un copain de Ginou : We all have our little fantasies.
-
Marco Mazetti : What is it? Irène, sweetheart! Sit down. What's wrong?
Irène de Fontenoy : Honey, I think I'm pregnant.
