Quotes 

• Raphaël Saint-Clair : Some nights you're a better assassin than others. Tonight was perfect. In the front row, there was a little maid watching me. You bet she didn't give a damn about Monsieur Alexandre Dumas. She didn't have ears, she only had eyes. Eyes for that handsome Saint-Clair.

• Raphaël Saint-Clair : Theater, what a life!

  Ernest Cabrissade : And life, what a theater!

• Jeannette : Every time I tell you something, it reminds you of a woman.

  Raphaël Saint-Clair : If I were you, I'd find it flattering to evoke so many seductive creatures. Your eyes, a Russian princess. Your mouth, a diplomat's wife who ruined herself for me. Your legs, a dancer. And the whole thing, a delicious woman who killed herself.

  Jeannette : Because of you?

  Raphaël Saint-Clair : No, not because of me, for me.

  Jeannette : And you say it just like that!

  Raphaël Saint-Clair : My child, death scares small annuitants, but it attracts those who are moved by passion.
