Quotes edit see section history

• “And ten, my dear Mademoiselle MacIntyre, I will do my best to save your life.”

  Mme. Langlois

• “Did you know you’re a lot happier when Marc isn’t around?”

  Nicole

• “What is this?” she gulped through her tears. “The road company for La Boheme?”

  Claire

• “(Claire) “You’re a swine, Parkhurst. I think if I’m going to do penance I have to do it on my own.” (Thomas) “Suit yourself. I’ll come visit you in the convent.”

• “(Hubert) “When you start killing for pleasure you run into trouble. Things are bound to catch up with you.” (Rocco) “We all have to have some sort of hobby, Hubert.”

• “He wasn’t a dancer, a clarinetist, a playwright, or a painter. He couldn’t even run a vineyard. He had seven more weeks left, but he already suspected he knew the answer to his quest. He was a damned, dull, boring stockbroker. His creative gifts lay in making money, whether he liked it or not.”

  Thomas Jefferson Parkhurst
