• Adele : [she's just felt her baby kick and has put d'Hubert's hand on her belly to feel]  Sir, kick for the general.

  [the baby kicks and she reacts] 

  Adele : Perfect discipline!

  Armand D'Hubert : [smiling]  That's not a grenadier. Most ladylike, I assure you.

  Adele : HE'S not kicking YOU.

• [talking about a marriage] 

  Armand D'Hubert : If I were to neglect making you a proposal, no blame would attach to you. And I think perhaps you might be saved from a... sad dull life.

  Adele : If you neglect to make me a proposal, my uncle will go mad.

  Armand D'Hubert : Damn it, you are not put on this earth to coddle your uncle.
