  Mamita : That's Gigi!

  Tante Alicia : Gigi?

  Mamita : I asked her to pick me up here.

  Tante Alicia : Gigi?

• Gaston : Something smells good here!

  Mamita : It's only cassoulet.

• Mamita : You must keep your knees together and keep them to either side in order to not be indecent.

  Gilberte dite 'Gigi' : But, Grandma, I'm wearing panties and a petticoat.

  Mamita : Panties are one thing, decency another.

• Mamita : When you appear in public your presence is noticed. A young girl accompanied by you is no longer a young girl. Our Gilberte mustn't be mistaken for what she is not.

• Tante Alicia : What did you say to that... princess?

  Mamita : I reasoned with her... I spoke of the family...

  Tante Alicia : The family? No time for reasoning... You didn't mention love... travel... moonlight... Italy? You didn't tell her about the phosphorescent sea, about love in a garden of gardenias?

  Mamita : No, Alicia, because I didn't know about it... The furthest I've been is Trouville and Monte Carlo.

  Tante Alicia : Couldn't you invent?
