• [as the duel begins] 

  Jacques : Lindo, whichever one of us falls, let there be no hard feelings.

  Lindo : Yes, Jack, there will be no hard feelings if you die.

  Jacques : What?

  Lindo : If we both hit the heart, there won't be any feelings at all.

• Lindo : Just look at us: everybody else has gone home, free for the summer. And we're still stuck in our uniforms!

  Claude : Rule 11: Uniforms must be worn at all times, so it says.

  Marion : Rules, rules, rules! It's a rule to wake up in the morning, it's a rule to gargle after you brush your teeth...

  Claude : It's also a rule not to talk back to your teacher. They think they can keep students under control with their rules.

• Claude : Do you know the myth of Leda and the Swan? Zeus turned himself into a swan, and seduced Leda. And she gave birth to two eggs.

  Jacques : So, Leda and the Swan had sex.

  Claude : I wonder, what sort of man becomes a swan?

  Lindo : Did you put this up hoping to be that sort of man?

  Claude : [looks at Marion]  I feel as though I never will be...

  Lindo : Don't get so serious, sex is only a reproductive act. You don't need love to have sex, it's just a natural physical need.

  Jacques : It's no different from eating or drinking!

  Marion : Stop it!

  [walks out] 

  Jacques : Damn, he always runs away when we talk about this...

  Lindo : He's slow in that aspect.

  Claude : But have any of you ever been with a woman?
