You’ll end up wasting your life at the Moulin Rouge with a can-can dancer!" -Christian's father
"Ah! The boy has talent. I like him! -Nothing funny. I just like
talent." -Narcoleptic Argentinean
[Christian]
I don't even know if I am a true bohemian revolutionary!
[Bohemians]
What?!
[Toulouse] Do you believe in beauty?
[Christian]
yes
[Bohemian]
freedom?
[Christian]
yes, of course
[Bohemian]
truth?
[Christian]
yes
[Bohemian]
love?
[Christian]
Love? Love?! Above
all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen. Love is a many- splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All
you need is love!
"Outside it may be raining, but in here it's
entertaining!" -Zidler
"You've got some dark desire... love to play
with fire... why don't let it rip? Live a little bit!" -Zidler
[Satine] What does he go for? Wilting flower? Bright and bubbly? Or smoldering temptress?
[Zidler] How
about--- Smoldering temptress!
[Satine] So wonderful of you to take an interest in our little show.
[Christian]
Sounds very exciting, I’d be delighted to be involved.
[Satine] Really?
[Christian]
Assuming you like what I do of course.
[Satine] I’m sure I will.
[Christian]
Toulouse
thought we might be able to do it in private.
[Satine] Did he?
[Christian]
Yes, you know, a private poetry reading.
[Satine] Oh . . . hmm . . . a poetry reading? I’d love a little poetry after supper.
[Satine] "Would you like a little champagne?"
[Christian] "I'd really rather just get on
with it."
"He has an enormous
talent!" -Toulouse
[Satine] "I can't believe it. I'm in love with a talented, rich,
handsome duke!"
[Christian] "Duke?"
[Satine] "Not
that the title's important, of course!"
[Christian] "I'm not a duke."
[Satine] "Not
a duke?"
[Christian] "I'm a writer."
[Satine] "A
writer?!"
[Satine]"You're not another one of Toulouse's oh-so-talented, charmingly
bohemian, tragically impoverished protégés, are you?"
[Christian]"Well,
you might say that, yes..."
[Satine]"Ohhhh nooooo!
I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill
him!
"I'll leave you two squirrels to get better
acquainted. Ta-ta!" -Zidler
"You expect me to believe that in the arms of
another man in the middle of the night inside an elephant, you were rehearsing?" -Duke
"Silly... believing you could fall in love
with someone like me." -Christian
[Satine] Please, don't start that again...
[Christian] All you need is love!
[Satine] -a girl has got to eat-
[Christian] All you need is love!
[Satine] -or
she'll end up on the street!
"You're gonna be
bad for business, I can tell." -Satine
"I require a contract that binds Satine exclusively to me." -Duke
"How dare you! It cannot wait until tomorrow.
'The lovers will be meeting in the sitar’s player humble
abode' scene is the most important in the production. We’ll work on
it tonight until I’m completely
satisfied." -Satine
[Satine] "He could destroy everything."
[Christian] "I
don't care. We have each other."
[Duke] "Why can't
the courtesan marry the maharaja?!"
[Christian] "Because she doesn't love
you!"
"Make Christian believe that you don't love
him. Hurt him. Hurt him to save him." -Zidler
"We're creatures of the underworld. We can't
afford to love." -Zidler
"His eyes upon your face... his hand upon
your hand... his lips caress your skin... it's more than I can stand!" ... "Why does my heart cry, feelings I can't
fight, you're afraid to love me, but just don't deceive me, and please
believe me when I say I love you..." -Christian
"Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous
obsession with love." -Christian
"Christian, you may see me only as a drunken,
vice-ridden gnome whose friends are just pimps and girls from the brothels.
But I know about art and love, if only because I long for it with every fiber of my being."
-Toulouse
