Movie quotes

  • (..) I thought I might have some rest. Me too. And instead I spent the night with Commissioner Chauffard. Yes, Chauffard has been removed from the case. Go on. They pass the case to Madrier whom I actually know. I was in Marseilles with him years ago. He was to investigate the disappearance of Pigot's daughter. Clearly speaking you were supposed to be removed from that case too. In a way, yes. Thanks. Anyway your client is dead. Police knows about it. I think you'll stop your investigation. (..)
