Quotes 

• Moustache : Shows you the kind of world we live in. Love is illegal - but not hate. That you can do anywhere, anytime, to anybody. But if you want a little warmth, a little tenderness, a shoulder to cry on, a smile to cuddle up with, you have to hide in dark corners, like a criminal. Pfui.

• Moustache : But that's another story...

• Moustache : Life is total war my friend... nobody has a right to be a conscientious objector.

• Moustache : To be overly honest in a dishonest world is like plucking a chicken against the wind... you'll only wind up with a mouth full of feathers.

• Nestor Patou : Why don't we just tell him the truth?

  Moustache : The truth? That's dynamite.

  Nestor Patou : But I'm innocent.

  Moustache : The jails are full with innocent people because they told the truth.

• Moustache : It's a hard way to earn an easy living.
