Comte de Reynaud : Rumor has it you are harbouring Madame Muscat. Is that true?
Vianne : You make her sound like a fugitive.
Comte de Reynaud : She *is* a fugitive. From her marriage vows, which have been sanctified by God.
Vianne : Josephine? Come out here a minute. Let His Radiance have a look at you, hm?
[shows the Comte the ugly bruise on Josephine's forehead]
Vianne : Is that sanctified enough for you? It's not the first time.
Comte de Reynaud : I am truly sorry. You should have come to me. Your husband will be made to repent for this.
Josephine Muscat : Tell him to repent on someone else's head.

Comte de Reynaud : Let me try to put this into perspective for you. The first Comte de Reynaud expelled all the radical Huguenots in this village. You and your truffles present a far lesser challenge.

Comte de Reynaud : [forcing Serge into the confessional] He is ready.

Serge Muscat : Contrition... yes contrition,
Comte de Reynaud : [shutting curtain] He is ready.

Comte de Reynaud : Shameless, isn't it? The sheer nerve of the woman. Opening a chocolaterie just in time for Lent. The woman is brazen!

Francoise Drou : Bonjour monsieur le Comte.
Comte de Reynaud : I wish all my tenants were as reliable as you, madame Drou.
Francoise Drou : How is the Comtesse enjoying Italy?
