  Count de Savignac : Oh, wait, I'll join you!

• Princess Jeanette : What are you doing now?

  Maurice Courtelin : I'm thinking. I'm thinking of you without these clothes.

  Princess Jeanette : Open your eyes at once!

  Maurice Courtelin : Oh no, pardon madam. With different clothes. Smart clothes.

• Princess Jeanette : I'm wasting away, for three years I've starved. Alone, no joy I've tasted.

  Dr. Armand de Fontinac : With eyes, and red lips, and a figure like that! You're not wasted away. You're just wasted!

• Count de Savignac : [after falling off a ladder from Princess Jeanette's balcony]  Oh, I'll never be able to use it again.

  Princess Jeanette : Oh, count, did you break your leg?

  Count de Savignac : No. I fell flat on my flute.

• Maurice Courtelin : Tell me, do you live down here?

  Princess Jeanette : I often wonder.

  Maurice Courtelin : No, I said, do you *live* down here?

  Princess Jeanette : I heard you. I wonder if you can call it living. Seems so dead.

• Dr. Armand de Fontinac : And now my dear, remove your dress.

  Princess Jeanette : My what?

  Dr. Armand de Fontinac : Your dress. There's no occasion for distress.

  Princess Jeanette : Is that necessary?

  Dr. Armand de Fontinac : Very. Yes. As long as professional ethics apply, I'll see you with only a doctor's eye.

  Princess Jeanette : Oh, dear.

  [disrobes] 

  Dr. Armand de Fontinac : The doctor's eye is satisfied. Now I'll hear your heart. Don't sigh. Very good. Nothing wrong here. Now I'll take your pulse, my dear. Perfectly regular, right on the tick. Madam, oh Madam, you cannot be sick.

• Princess Jeanette : Tell me, do you ever think of anything but men, dear?

  Countess Valentine : Oh, yes.

  Princess Jeanette : Of what?

  Countess Valentine : Schoolboys.

• Princess Jeanette : [On a horse galloping beside the speeding train engine, yells at the engineer]  Stop the train!

  Train engineer : What's the trouble?

  Princess Jeanette : I love him.

  Train engineer : That's not a railroad problem.

• Count de Savignac : Oh, Princess, I trust you don't find my wooing too ardent.

  Princess Jeanette : I was just admiring your restraint.

• Maurice Courtelin : I'm stuck here, I can't go. My carriage is in disrepair and I'm lonely. You can't leave me.

  Princess Jeanette : Aren't you a little insane?

  Maurice Courtelin : Yes! Let me sing for you!

  Princess Jeanette : You are insane.

  Maurice Courtelin : But you sang for me.

  Princess Jeanette : I didn't even know you existed.

  Maurice Courtelin : You don't exist either. You're a dream.

• Dr. Armand de Fontinac : How old are you?

  Princess Jeanette : I'm twenty-two. While other people dance, I feel so dead at night.

  Dr. Armand de Fontinac : At twenty-two? Well this won't do. Are you married?

  Princess Jeanette : My husband died three years ago. At sixteen I was wed.

  Dr. Armand de Fontinac : You've been a widow for three years?

  Princess Jeanette : Three years the Prince is dead.

  Dr. Armand de Fontinac : Were you very happy with your spouse?

  Princess Jeanette : He was a son of noble house. It was a happiness of great peace. Rochambeau, my better half. And here you have his photograph.

  Dr. Armand de Fontinac : How old was your bridge-groom, dear?

  Princess Jeanette : Seventy-two.

• Princess Jeanette : [winks]  Come here, look at it more closely.

  Maurice Courtelin : The closer I get, the more perfect.
