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”.
