Louis Jourdan Quotes:
Elizabeth Sutton: Dr. Sawyer said that is belonged to your father, and if you ever asked for an explanation, he'd give it to you.
Richard Stuart: And Tony never did, of course?
Elizabeth Sutton: No.
Richard Stuart: That key, Elizabeth, was a calculated risk. A constant challenge to my memory - or lack of memory. The bait, you see. As long as I didn't inquire about it, my past was *locked.*
Dr. Ralph Sawyer: Richard, there's something I want you to understand: in spite of what you think, I'm your friend.
Richard Stuart: I believe you Ralph, I believe you. But you chose a heartwarming way of expressing it tonight.
Gaston Lachaille: Imagine this if you can! Here is a girl, living in a mouldy apartment: decaying walls, worm-ridden furniture, surrounded by filth...
Honore Lachaille: You're ruining my lunch!
Gaston Lachaille: My heart was touched. I wanted to help her. I offered her everything: house, car, servants, clothes, and me!
Honore Lachaille: And...?
Gaston Lachaille: She turned me down.
Honore Lachaille: Turned you down?
Gaston Lachaille: Turned me down!
Honore Lachaille: It is impossible!
Gaston Lachaille: It is not impossible, it just happened! I was refused, rejected, rebuffed and... repudiated!
