Mathilde Girard
- Chloé Girard: J'ai deux mots à vous dire...
- Mathias Gold: No no. No French. My French is for shit.
- Chloé Girard: Please don't be so vulgar.
- Mathias Gold: Well, I'll try not to be. But I can't make any promises.
- Chloé Girard: I know exactly who you are and I know exactly why you're here.
- Mathias Gold: Who am I exactly and why am I here?
- Mathilde Girard: Chloé!
- Chloé Girard: Maman, s'il te plaît!
- Mathias Gold: I had a Cairn terrier named Murphy who used to eavesdrop constantly. He was 90 in dog years when he died; same age as your mom.
- Chloé Girard: My mother's 92.
- Mathias Gold: She told me she was 90.
- Chloé Girard: She lies about her age.
- Mathias Gold: She had me totally fooled.
- Chloé Girard: You have no legal access here before my mother dies. If you continue to trespass, Mr. Gold...
- Mathias Gold: Whoa whoa. Let's just talk all over, ok? Hi. I'm Mathias Gold. I'm from New York. I'm renting a room from your mother. I've paid her...
- Chloé Girard: I have no time for this. Simply and clearly, if you're not out of this apartment by noon today, our lawyers will petition the police to have...
- Mathias Gold: Excuse me. But I'd like to say something simply and clearly. This is my apartment. Yeah. My dad bought it and he paid for it over 43 years; gazillions of dollars and then he left it to me. I don't care if your mother's 500 years old and the two of you ended up living in a tent. I own this apartment and I'm gonna sell this apartment. The moment I have the money in my pocket, I'll be gone and not a minute before, ok?
- Mathilde Girard: You had a drink problem?
- Mathias Gold: Uh, it wasn't a problem for me, just for the people around me.
- Mathilde Girard: How did you get to be 57 and 11 months and have so little to show for it?
- Mathias Gold: [blank face for 2 seconds] Hey! Please, don't be subtle with me. If you have something you want to ask me that's a little cruel, just ask me.
- Mathilde Girard: You and my daughter were awake together last night.
- Mathias Gold: Very precise. Usually a mother wants to know, did you *sleep* with my daughter? Which I'm actually describes a perfectly innocent act. But, "were you awake with my daughter?", that's a 64 euro mother of a question.
- Mathilde Girard: I eat dinner each night at precisely 8 o'clock. And breakfast is at precisely 8 AM. I don't eat lunch. Lunch is not a meal that interests me.
- Mathilde Girard: Take a walk by the Seine. Hmm? The night will be beautiful. Only don't... please don't jump in. You'll probably fail to drown yourself and just end up with a dreadful cold.
