Enfants du paradis, Les

Frederick: Jealousy belongs to all if a woman belongs to no one.

Director: Act! Act! You have the wrong place. We are not allowed to act here. We walk on our hands! And you know why? They bully us. If we put on plays, they'd have to close their great, noble theaters! Their public is bored to death by museum pieces, dusty tragedies and declaiming mummies who never move! But the Funambules is full of life, movement! Extravaganzas! Appearances, disappearances, like in real life! And then-boom-the kick in the pants!

Baptiste: You were right, Garance. Love is simple.

Anselme Debureau: A kick in the ass, if well delivered, is a sure laugh. It's true. There's an entire order, a science, a style of kicks in the ass.

Anselme Debureau: Novelty is as old as the hills.

Frederick: I'm dying of silence, like others die of hunger and thirst.

Édouard, Count de Montray: You're much too lovely to be truly loved.
