A line from Comte de Reynaud

Let me put this in 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.

[hearing confession]

What else?

Guillaume Blerot

Impure thoughts. The woman who runs the chocolaterie...

Vianne Rocher?

Guillaume Blerot

She suggested I buy chocolate sea shells for the widow Audel. And, well... I guess that got me to thinking, about the widow Audel.

At her age? At your age?

Guillaume Blerot

Yes, and yes.

[at confession]

Each time I tell myself it's the last time, but then I get a whiff of her hot chocolate, or...

Madame Audel

...Seashells. Chocolate seashells, so small, so plain, so *innocent*. I thought, oh, just one little taste, it can't do any harm. But it turned out they were filled with rich, sinful...

Yvette Marceau

...And it *melts*, God forgive me, it melts ever so slowly on your tongue, and tortures you with pleasure.

Reynaud

Rumor has it you are harbouring Madame Muscat. Is that true?

You make her sound like a fugitive.

Reynaud

She is a fugitive. From her marriage vows, which have been sanctified by God.

Joséphine? Come out here a minute. Let His Radiance have a look at you, hm? [shows the Comte the ugly bruise on Joséphine's forehead] Is that sanctified enough for you? It's not the first time.

Reynaud

I am truly sorry. You should have come to me. Your husband will be made to repent for this.

Tell him to repent on someone else's head.

Reynaud
[after Serge admits he started the fire]

People could have died. Do you want their blood on your hands? On my hands?

Serge

Should I go to Père Henri and ask for forgiveness?

Reynaud
[calmly]

Listen to me Serge. Listen very carefully. You must leave this village at once and never return.

Serge

Why would I leave my home and my café?

Reynaud
[shouting]

Because I'm evicting you, that's why! What you have done puts you beyond anyone's help! Beyond my help, anybody's help! Now get out! Unless you will tell the police what you have done, get out! GET OUT GET OUT!
