Lee Montague: Maurice Joyant

Quotes 

  • Prudish woman : Are you Monsieur Joyant?

    Maurice Joyant : Yes, madame.

    Prudish woman : You should be arrested. To hang such a thing on your wall! Look at this woman. She is undressing, with a man looking on! Disgusting!

    Henri : Forgive me, madame, the lady is not undressing, she is dressing. The gentleman happens to be her husband. They are celebrating their twenty-seventh wedding anniversary. They are going to have dinner with their oldest son. He is a taxidermist. I am appalled that you should thus malign these good people. It goes to prove what I have always maintained, that evil exists only in the eye of the beholder. I will thank you to stop looking at my pictures.

  • Maurice Joyant : Work or dissipate; You *can't* do *both*.

  • Maurice Joyant : You've been drinking again.

    Henri : One must be fortified for such an occasion.

  • Henri : I know I drink too much. I can't stop myself. I wish I could.

    Maurice Joyant : You must stop. At the rate you're going, you'll never reach 40.

    Henri : Neither did Raphael, nor Watteau, nor Correggio. I shall be in good company. Anyway, it's all for the best. Think how my paintings will soar in value.
