Quotes 

• Serge Muscat : We are still married, in the eyes of God.

  Josephine Muscat : Then He must be blind.

• Josephine Muscat : [hitting her husband over the head with a cooking pan]  Who says I can't use a skillet!

• Josephine Muscat : You don't misbehave here. It's just not done, did you know that? If you don't go to confession, if you don't... dig your flowerbeds, or if you don't pretend, if you don't pretend... that you want nothing more in your life than to serve your husband three meals a day, and give him children, and vacuum under his ass, then... then you're... then you're crazy.

• Comte de Reynaud : Rumor has it you are harbouring Madame Muscat. Is that true?

  Vianne : You make her sound like a fugitive.

  Comte de Reynaud : She *is* a fugitive. From her marriage vows, which have been sanctified by God.

  Vianne : Josephine? Come out here a minute. Let His Radiance have a look at you, hm?

  [shows the Comte the ugly bruise on Josephine's forehead] 

  Vianne : Is that sanctified enough for you? It's not the first time.

  Comte de Reynaud : I am truly sorry. You should have come to me. Your husband will be made to repent for this.

  Josephine Muscat : Tell him to repent on someone else's head.

• Vianne : Things could be different for you, Josephine. Serge doesn't run the world.

  Josephine Muscat : He might as well.

  Vianne : Is that what you believe?

  Josephine Muscat : I know it.

  Vianne : Oh. Well, then it must be... must be true. My mistake.

• Josephine Muscat : If you leave, everything will go back to the way it was.

  Vianne : Everything *is* the way it was.

  Josephine Muscat : Not for me!

• Vianne : Things could be different for you, Josephine. Serge doesn't rule the world.

  Josephine Muscat : He might as well.

  Vianne : Is that what you believe?

  Josephine Muscat : I know it.

  Vianne : Oh, well, then it... it must be true. My mistake.

• Josephine Muscat : He talks about you. He says you're indecent. He says you're an influence. You're a bad influence for someone like me.

• Vianne : You've never really told me what the problem is - between you and Caroline.

  Armande Voizin : 'Cause it's none of your damn business. I'm an embarrassment to her. I swear. I read dirty books. I eat and drink what I like. And sin of sins, I refuse to go to Les Mimosas.

  Josephine Muscat : When I was a kid, we called it Le Mortoir. It's a nursing home for old... It's in Toulouse.

  Armande Voizin : Caroline loves the thought of a nurse with a clipboard recording my bowel movements.
