Conversations from Movies #7 - The Royal Tenenbaums

Commentary: Cigarettes and the French language make departures that much more dramatic.


                                                   Raleigh: You’ve made a cuckold of me.


Margot: I know.


                                                   Raleigh: Many times over.


Margot: I’m sorry.


                                                   Raleigh: And you nearly killed
                                                   your poor brother.

(Off Camera) Etheline: What’s he talking about?


Margot: It doesn’t matter.
                                                   Raleigh: She’s balling Eli Cash.

(Off Camera) Etheline:Oh, my goodness.


                                                   Raleigh: May I have a cigarette?
Margot: What?


                                                   Raleigh: Shall I repeat the question?
Margot: You don’t smoke.
                                                   Raleigh: I know that.


                                                   Raleigh: And a light.



Raleigh: “Au revoir”.
