- Madame Lachaille: What a queer person! Must be one of those "creatures".
- Honoré: Anyway, she seems to know whom to concentrate on.
- Madame Lachaille: Soon, decent women won't be able to set foot in a public place!
- Honoré: We'll have to undress them at home! With our eyes only, of course!
- Madame Lachaille: You're an old playboy. Nothing shocks you.
- Honoré: Yes, sermons shock me... especially after a good meal. The old playboy salutes you.
- Gaston: Oh, I must teach you how to select cigars.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': But, I don't smoke cigars!
- Gaston: Everything I do has a reason. When a girl knows a man's preference, including his cigars... When a man knows what a girl likes... they're well- armed against each other.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': Don't tell her I was here, on account of "the solemnity of life".
- Tante Alicia: What's the solemnity of life?
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': You know what that means: No love stories allowed... they're depressing. No powder allowed... bad for the complexion. No corset allowed... bad for the waist. No conversing with fathers who call for my classmates at school. You won't tell her I was here? Promise?
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': Who's that?
- Mamita: That's Polaire, the actress. She's not the same kind as Liane... who wiggles her... well, nevermind.
- Liane d'Exelmans: I wish I could spend a night in your arms.
- Sandomir: I'd love to! How can we manage it? I'll manage it.
- Liane d'Exelmans: We'll leave Saturday. I know an inn on the Normandy shore.
- Sandomir: What! So we can see it rain into the sea!
- Liane d'Exelmans: Oh, we won't be watching the sea, silly.
- Sandomir: In that case - But what will your sugar daddy say?
- Liane d'Exelmans: I'll make up a story... he's gullible.
- Sandomir: Money is no mark of intelligence.
- Gaston: I didn't believe a word of her story... Money doesn't make a man blind. The Pinkerton man telephoned... they're at an inn at Honfleur.
- Tante Alicia: I'm wondering who will take Liane's place?
- [doorbell rings]
- Mamita: That's Gigi!
- Tante Alicia: Gigi?
- Mamita: I asked her to pick me up here.
- Tante Alicia: Gigi?
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': Gaston, you'll ruin your hands!
- Gaston: The manicurist comes every day.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': What a nuisance!
- Andrée: Gilberte, behave! And pull your dress down!
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': If I were you, I'd vex her by finding some society woman.
- Gaston: Thanks for the remedy.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': Yes, the cure can be worse than the illness. It's like changing a one-eyed horse with a blind one.
- Gaston: I must give it thought... All Paris is watching me.
- Gaston: Gigi, what do you want if I lose? Silk stockings?
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': No, I don't like them. They're itchy. No, I'd rather have a corset, Nile green with embroidered rococo rose garters.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': The telephone is good only for businessmen and women who have something to hide.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': Aren't we ordinary people?
- Tante Alicia: No!
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': How are ordinary people inferior to us?
- Tante Alicia: They have weak heads and weak bodies. Moreover, they're married.
- Tante Alicia: If I understand correctly, you're bored.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': A little.
- Tante Alicia: Very good... Boredom helps one make decisions.
- Mamita: You must keep your knees together and keep them to either side in order to not be indecent.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': But, Grandma, I'm wearing panties and a petticoat.
- Mamita: Panties are one thing, decency another.
- Gaston: I forgot to leave the candy.
- Gilberte dite 'Gigi': Oh, thank you, very much.
- Gaston: I brought it from Nice!
- Mamita: When you appear in public your presence is noticed. A young girl accompanied by you is no longer a young girl. Our Gilberte mustn't be mistaken for what she is not.
- Tante Alicia: What did you say to that... princess?
- Mamita: I reasoned with her... I spoke of the family...
- Tante Alicia: The family? No time for reasoning... You didn't mention love... travel... moonlight... Italy? You didn't tell her about the phosphorescent sea, about love in a garden of gardenias?
- Mamita: No, Alicia, because I didn't know about it... The furthest I've been is Trouville and Monte Carlo.
- Tante Alicia: Couldn't you invent?
