Quotes 

• Louise : She

  [Pierrette] 

  Louise : asked me to keep quiet and gave me 10,000 francs.

  Pierrette : Which I regret, you hussy.

  Louise : What?

  Pierrette : Everyone knows you sleep around.

  Louise : You know, since we sleep with the same ones, let me explain the bribe. I overheard you say to Monsieur, "Give me the money or you'll die."

  Pierrette : No I said, "I'll die."

  Louise : No, "You'll die."

  Pierrette : My poor Louise! Your word is no good, you're just a maid.

  Louise : Nor is yours. You're just a whore.

  Pierrette : Which I prefer.

• Suzon : Didn't you say you saw no-one?

  Augustine : I forgot. I went for a drink.

  Gaby : Or a prowl around Marcel's room! What happened?

  Catherine : You'd know if you still slept with Dad.

  Gaby : I'm being judged by my own child!

  Pierrette : That's why I never had any.

  Gaby : Just admit no man ever asked you to.

• Pierrette : As you ladies want the whole truth, I'd like to add a tidbit of information you lack.

  Gaby : What is it this time?

  Pierrette : Marcel and your new maid, Louise, have known each other for five years.

  Gaby : What?

  Pierrette : Five years of rented rooms and secret weekends. This winter you needed a maid, so Louise got hired.

  [leaning in towards Gaby] 

  Pierrette : It's called "in-home service."
