Quotes 

• Adèle Lacaud : The Americans weren't a surprise to me with all of their guns and their famous machines. In their movies, they are always so dear and so confident. But, give them two drinks and they become lost children. Sad, because their mothers are so far away.

• Adèle Lacaud : You look frozen! A little bit of cognac will do you good.

• Fernand Lacaud : Long before the war, I met many Americans, many American ladies. There was a school teacher from Pennsylvania. She was making a tour of the châteaux. It was in 1920. Twenty-five years ago.

  Adèle Lacaud : Oh, yes, twenty-five years ago my husband had a great curiosity about American woman.

  Fernand Lacaud : Without curiosity, my dear, there would be no wise men.

  Nina : And this curiosity, did you satisfy it?

  Fernand Lacaud : Yes. To an extent, my dear, to an extent.

• Adèle Lacaud : Oh, Army. None of them are human!
