Gigi (1949)

Frank Villard: Gaston

Quotes 

• Gaston : What shall we do, Uncle?

  Honoré : Do whatever you please... I have a date with a delightful girl.

  Gaston : How young you are!

  Honoré : She is 19.

• Honoré : Mamita! I really should go there, too.

  Gaston : You two were once quite intimate.

  Honoré : So, she says... Frankly, I do not remember.

• Gaston : Oh, I must teach you how to select cigars.

  Gilberte dite 'Gigi' : But, I don't smoke cigars!

  Gaston : Everything I do has a reason. When a girl knows a man's preference, including his cigars... When a man knows what a girl likes... they're well- armed against each other.

• Gaston : I didn't believe a word of her story... Money doesn't make a man blind. The Pinkerton man telephoned... they're at an inn at Honfleur.

• Gaston : She never kissed me that way... Not even for the pearls.

• Gaston : Something smells good here!

  Mamita : It's only cassoulet.

• Gaston : Gigi, I've brought you candy.

  [Gigi squeals with delight] 

• Gilberte dite 'Gigi' : Gaston, you'll ruin your hands!

  Gaston : The manicurist comes every day.

  Gilberte dite 'Gigi' : What a nuisance!

  Andrée : Gilberte, behave! And pull your dress down!

• Gilberte dite 'Gigi' : If I were you, I'd vex her by finding some society woman.

  Gaston : Thanks for the remedy.

  Gilberte dite 'Gigi' : Yes, the cure can be worse than the illness. It's like changing a one-eyed horse with a blind one.

  Gaston : I must give it thought... All Paris is watching me.

• Gaston : Gigi, what do you want if I lose? Silk stockings?

  Gilberte dite 'Gigi' : No, I don't like them. They're itchy. No, I'd rather have a corset, Nile green with embroidered rococo rose garters.

• Gaston : I forgot to leave the candy.

  Gilberte dite 'Gigi' : Oh, thank you, very much.

  Gaston : I brought it from Nice!
