Breaking with convention, I watched Gigi last night. There were some fantastic lines (the script is here). Here my favourites:
Aunt Alicia: Bad Table manners have broken up more marriages than infidelity
Aunt Alicia: [Learning] English? I supose we must. they refuse to learn French
Gigi: She is common
Gaston: Common? How do you mean common? "Ordinary" common or "coarse" common?
Gigi: Ordinary ... and coarse
Gaston: Uncle! I'll tell you Europe is breeding a generation of vandals and ingrates. Children are coming into the world with ice-covered souls and hatchets in their hands! And before they have finished, they'll smash everything beautiful and decent.
Honore Lachaille: Have a piece of cheese
They don't make them like they used to
