Movie quotes

  • (..) (There she is, my little Adriana!) Isn't this little Parisian dream a moveable feast? Mark my words. I'm going to steal you away from that fugitive from Málaga one way or another. Between Belmonte and myself, whom would you choose? Vous êtes tous deux parfaits. (You are both perfect.) (..)
