Quotes 

• Antoinette : Oh, Joseph! All you think about is balloons. All you talk about is balloons. Your beautiful house is full of bits and pieces of balloons. Your books are all about balloons, every time you sing a song, it is in some way obliquely connected with balloons... Everything you eat has to have "balloon" incorporated in the title. Your dogs are all called Balloono. You tie balloons to your ankles in the evenings!

  Joseph Montgolfier : I don't do that!

  Antoinette : Well, no, you don't do that. But you do duck down and shout, "Hey! Balloons!" when there are none about. Your whole life is becoming obsessively balloonic, you know... Oh-h-h! Why do I have to hang from this bloody gas bag all day?

• Jacques Montgolfier : Let me put my tongue in your mouth.

  Antoinette : What do you mean?

  Jacques Montgolfier : We're supposed to be French, aren't we?
