Michele Morestan : What kind of a woman is that Natalie Roguin?
Andre Morestan : I'm not permitted to discuss the case with members of my family.

Andre Morestan : People shouldn't condemn what they don't know.
Michele Morestan : I heard about her in the market place today and they say she's not a nice girl.
Andre Morestan : The marketplace, the marketplace, new court of justice. Tomorrow we'll move the judges down among the food and vegetables and settle the case there.

Andre Morestan : Why weren't you ever a ballet dancer?

Michele Morestan : He never winked at me.
Andre Morestan : How do you know? You didn't see him. I was watching him.

Henri Lurette : This is the first time for you I suppose?
Andre Morestan : Yes, yes. I've waited for 27 years for the chance to be called as a juror. Have you served before?
Henri Lurette : Yes, yes. The Bluebeard case.
Andre Morestan : Oh yes, I remember reading about that - a man who killed his wife, wasn't it?
Henri Lurette : One wife? Four!
Andre Morestan : Oh - that must have been quite a case!
Henri Lurette : Yes, only he didn't kill them.
Andre Morestan : Hmmm?
Henri Lurette : Later, I figured it out that he was innocent.
Andre Morestan : Later?
Henri Lurette : After he was executed.

Michele Morestan : I don't want you to go to trials. If your father wants to associate with criminals, let him; but not you.
