Gigi • 1958

Gaston Lachaille: Imagine this if you can: here is a girl, living in a moldy apartment, decaying walls, worm-ridden furniture, surrounded by filth!
Honore Lachaille: You're ruining my lunch.
Gaston Lachaille: Nothing to look forward to but abject poverty. 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: Oh, it's impossible.
Gaston Lachaille: It's not impossible at all. It just happened!
Honore Lachaille: Obviously, that disgusting apartment she lives in - has driven her mad.
Gaston Lachaille: Her grandmother was delighted, of course.
Honore Lachaille: Grandmother?
Gaston Lachaille: Yes, Mamita. But Gigi, no. No, no, no. Not Gigi. She refused me. *She* turned me down. I was refused, rejected, rebuffed, and - repudiated.
Honore Lachaille: Well, they're a very peculiar family - with peculiar ideas. I negotiated with them myself once. With me, one casual bit of grazing in another pasture - and the gate was slammed behind me
