- Jerry Mulligan: She's one of those third year girls who gripe my liver...You know, American college kids. They come over here to take their third year and lap up a little culture...They're officious and dull. They're always making profound observations they've overheard.
- Lise Bouvier: Jerry, if it means anything to you, I love you.
- Jerry Mulligan: This is Paris, and I'm an American who lives here. My name is Jerry Mulligan, and I'm an ex G.I. In 1945 when the army told me to find my own job, I stayed on. And I'll tell you why: I'm a painter, and all my life that's all I've ever wanted to do.
- Adam Cook: It's not a pretty face, I grant you, but underneath its flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
- Jerry Mulligan: That's... quite a dress you almost have on. Milo Roberts: Thanks. Jerry Mulligan: What holds it up? Milo Roberts: Modesty.
- Adam Cook: I'm a concert pianist. That's a pretentious way of saying I'm... unemployed at the moment.
- Jerry Mulligan: Back home everyone said I didn't have any talent. They might be saying the same thing over here but it sounds better in French.
