Quotes from
Susan Bonnard:
[as Grandpere emerges from the house in his finery] Grandpa!
Grandpere Bonnard: Ah, bon soir. I'm late.
Susan Bonnard: Where are you going?
Grandpere Bonnard: Out.
Susan Bonnard: You should be in bed!
Grandpere Bonnard: It is only a matter of time.
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: It's not Uncle Desmond's fault! Only Peggy O'Hare's. When the principal asks her if I drew the picture, she says yes, I drew it! It's a lie, I didn't draw it!
Susan Bonnard: But why would Peggy tell a lie like that about you?
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: I don't understand! She kicks me, she trips me, she spills ink on my books!
[the brothers begin to exchange knowing smiles]
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: Why does she do this to me?
Jacques Bonnard: Ah!
Uncle Desmond Bonnard: Oh ho!
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: But why?
Jacques Bonnard: Well, Bibi, it is that Peggy wishes to be your girl.
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: My girl?
[pulling up his pant leg]
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: Look! Black and blue!
Uncle Desmond Bonnard: Well, it is how American women show affection.
[in Jacques' ear]
Uncle Desmond Bonnard: I have been in Detroit.
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: [crying] I won't go back to school! I'll never go back to school! I didn't do it-it isn't fair! Why do I have to tell lies to escape a beating?
Jacques Bonnard: What-what's the matter? What happened? What is it at that school? Maman! Who beat you?
Susan Bonnard: Beating? What beating?
Jacques Bonnard: Come on, Bibi. Now, please, stop crying and tell us, what happened?
Uncle Desmond Bonnard: What is this of a beating?
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: In school, the principal finds a dirty picture. It's from my 'Gay Paree' which I have taken there.
[Susan looks up at the brothers, reproachfully. The brothers look embarrassed]
Uncle Desmond Bonnard: Now, wait. They are not dirty pictures in Le Gay Paree. They are, it is true, pictures of women with few clothes, but this is not dirty! Ah, no!
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: But this is only the beginning! It is a picture of a girl, standing like so
[he gets up and imitates the pose; Susan looks shocked]
Susan Bonnard: Jacques!
Jacques Bonnard: This is not dirty.
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: But in this picture, on the head, instead of the face of the girl in the magazine, there's drawn the face of Miss Tate, my teacher.
Uncle Desmond Bonnard: This is... indelicate, but it is still not dirty.
Robert 'Bibi' Bonnard: But also with the pencil, many things have been added.
Uncle Louis Bonnard: THIS could be dirty.
