Émile quotes from Ratatouille (2007)

Whoa, you can smell all that? You have a gift!

Why are you walking like that?

I don't want to constantly have to wash my paws. Do you ever think about how we walk on the same paws that we handle food with? Do you ever think about what we put into our mouths?

All the time.

Ugh. When I eat, I don't want to taste everywhere my paws have been.

Well, go ahead, but if Dad sees you walking like that, he's not gonna like it.

Whoa you've gotta taste this! It's-it's got this kind of, burny, melty, it's not really a smoky taste, it's-it's a certain, oh, it's kindof like a "Whoosh! Kaboom! Zap!" kind of taste, don't you think? What would you call that flavor?

Lightning-y?

Yeah! It's lightning-y!

Wait a minute... you read?

Well... not excessively.

Aw, man! Does Dad know?

You could fill a book — a lot of books — with things Dad doesn't know. And they have, which is why I read. Which, is also our secret.

I don't like secrets. All this cooking and...and reading and TV-watching, while we...read and cook. It's like you're involving me in crime, and I let you. Why do I let you?

Hey I brought you something to--[sees Émile eating garbage] Ah! No, no, no, no! Spit that out right now! [he does] I have got to teach you about food. Close your eyes. [Émile obeys, R?my hands him piece of cheese] Now take a bite of thi...[Émile snarfs it] No, no, no! Don't just hork it down!

Too late.

What are you eating?

I don't really know. I think it was some sort of wrapper once.
