Victor: For the last 3 months, I have been studying chickens. I know how they eat.
Luteau: [banging] Open this door!
Victor: I know how they walk. I know how they lay an egg. [as he and Felicie walk to the edge of the roof] There is nothing about a chicken that I do not know. [ripping his disguise, revealing his crudely built wings] Ta-da! I call them... Chicken Wings!
Felicie: [frustrated] Chickens... don't... FLY!
Victor: But they have wings! They must fly! [to a chicken] You fly, don't you? FLY! [throws the chicken in the air, the chicken falls to the ground] Uh-oh.
Luteau: [catches Victor and Felicie on the roof] I'm going to...! Come here, you rascals!
Victor: [bravely] Goodbye!
Luteau: [outraged] WHAT?! [Victor picks up Felicie and runs down the roof, with Luteau close behind]
Victor: Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! [carries Felicie, jumps off the roof and manages to fly away with the help of his "chicken wings"]
[Luteau, meanwhile, lands on a lower part of the roof and falls right through]
Victor: [joyously] One day, everyone will travel like this! [Luteau rides his motorcycle through the gates of the orphanage, one of his wings suddenly breaks. Victor and Felicie fall and land in a cart full of hay. Felicie's music box falls out of her pocket and bounces out of the cart. The cart slowly starts to roll away with the children in tow]
Felicie: [shocked] My (mother's) music box! [Victor quickly jumps out of the cart and grabs the music box. Felicie reaches out her hand for Victor, but the cart is now moving too fast for him to keep up] Victor! [notices Luteau chasing them] He's behind you!
Luteau: I've got my eye on you! You're not going anywhere!
Luteau: [banging] Open this door!
Victor: I know how they walk. I know how they lay an egg. [as he and Felicie walk to the edge of the roof] There is nothing about a chicken that I do not know. [ripping his disguise, revealing his crudely built wings] Ta-da! I call them... Chicken Wings!

Felicie: [on her first day of dance class, shyly greeting the other girls] Hi. Hello. [to herself; when none of the girls respond] Okay. Super. [louder] I'm Felicie.
Nora: [confused] Felicie?
Felicie: [realizes her mistake] Uh, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. I'm... friendly, ever so friendly. And my name is Camille.
Nora: Okay. I'm Nora, but everyone calls me... Nora. That's... the name that goes with my face. [laughs] Hey, you should warm up.
Felicie: [to herself, confused] Warm up? [shrugs and tries to literally 'warm up' by rubbing her hands on her arms]
Dora: [amused] Oh my. That is crazy. I'm guessing you're new, my darling?
Felicie: [awkwardly] You can tell that because...? [Before Dora can answer, Mérante enters. The girls quickly gather to one side of the room] Who is that?
Dora: [rolls her eyes] You are joking, right? It's Louis Mérante, ballet master, world-famous choreographer, the man who performed the most fouettes ever in a single solo.
Felicie: Foo-what?
Dora: Turns. Really difficult turns.
Nora: 187 in total. And right after, he vomited!
Mérante: Silence, mam'selle! First position, second...
[All of the girls except Felicie go through the basic ballet positions]
Felicie: [lost] What?
Mérante: Third, fourth, and rest in fifth. Today is an important day. I've gathered all the coryphées together to audition for the part of Clara in The Nutcracker, which will debut on Christmas Eve and star Rosita Mauri.
Dora: Rosita? Rosita Mauri? Oh, I don't believe it.
Mérante: [clears throat] So, every girl in this room has a chance to dance in my new ballet... [points his cane at Felicie] ...except you. You've all worked hard... [points his cane again] ...except you. You are here because of talent and guts...
Felicie: Except me.
Mérante: Exactly. Starting tomorrow, we'll have an audition. One of you will be eliminated each day. So, tomorrow, little rich girl, no matter what strings you've pulled to get here, [turns around] that will be...YOU.
Nora: [confused] Felicie?
Felicie: [realizes her mistake] Uh, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. I'm... friendly, ever so friendly. And my name is Camille.

Sentimental Value (2025) as Rachel Kemp

Gustav Borg: [about Rachel backing out of his film] Please, don't look back at this as a failure. You're a great actress, I meant it.
Rachel Kemp: Thank you.
Rachel Kemp: Thank you.
View Quote
[reading the monologue from Gustav's script during the table read] I had this kind of... crisis. I was alone in the house again, lying in my bed, crying. I know everyone lies in bed crying, but... Someone said praying isn't really talking to God. It's acknowledging the despair. To throw yourself on the ground because that's all you can do. Not unlike lying with your heart broken, thinking... "Please, call me.", "Please, forgive me.", "Please, take me back." And... [she starts tearing up] I had **** up. And I was alone and crying. And then, for the first time, I sat down on the floor... and prayed. I don't know who I said it to, but I said it out loud, "Help me, I can't do this anymore. I can't do it alone. I want a home. I want a home."

Rachel Kemp: [about Nora rejecting a movie role given by Gustav] Why didn't you want to do the role?
Nora Borg: I can't work with him.
Rachel Kemp: Why?
Nora Borg: We can't really talk.
Rachel Kemp: But he wanted you to do it.
Nora Borg: Yeah... Yeah. I don't know.
Rachel Kemp: Just keep thinking that he... he made a mistake. I just can't... I can't get a handle on her, you know? The more that I study her, the more lost I feel trying to be her. It's like her sadness is... It's such an overwhelming part of her. It's a beautiful thing. But I can't tell if that's just the cause of everything, or is it... I don't know, a symptom of something deeper? [beat] I don't wanna disappoint him, you know?
Nora Borg: Well, he's a... very difficult person. But he's a really good director, and he sees something in you. You'd be stupid to walk away.
Nora Borg: I can't work with him.
Rachel Kemp: Why?
Nora Borg: We can't really talk.
Rachel Kemp: But he wanted you to do it.
Nora Borg: Yeah... Yeah. I don't know.
