Dialogue

 * Gaston Morrell: Put your shoulders! Can't you straighten up? Not so square.
 * Francine Lutien: Well, I've asked you to pose me. I'm quite helpless about such things.
 * Gaston Morrell: Surely it can't be so difficult for you to be yourself. What's the matter?
 * Francine Lutien: Lucille's puppeteer.
 * Gaston Morrell: Lucille?
 * Francine Lutien: So you're Bluebeard?
 * Gaston Morrell: Who said so?
 * Francine Lutien: [Gasping] Lamarte.
 * Gaston Morrell: Lamarte? And you believe what Lamarte told you?
 * Francine Lutien: No!


 * Gaston Morrell: Lamarte, how many others have you told that I painted the pictures you have sold to the Duke?
 * Jean Lamarte: No one. No one.
 * Gaston Morrell: You're not telling me the truth.
 * [Gaston has closed the door. And finds that Deschamp was lying on the floor]
 * Gaston Morrell: And you were trying to sneak out of here leaving the blame for this to me as well.
 * Jean Lamarte: No. No, I wasn't!
 * [Doorbell ringing]
 * Gaston Morrell: So, and you even had it timed, didn't you? You were going to be gone from here when they got in.


 * Inspector Renard: We're breaking in! Renard, go on down to the road and keep a sharp lookout! Break it down!
 * [Lamarte is dead on the scene]
 * Inspector Renard: He's finished.
 * [the police and Inspector Renard find out there's another is alive. Deschamps was lying unconscious]
 * Inspector Renard: Rouhan, quickly!
 * [They wake Deschamps. He sees the dead body of Lamarte]
 * Deschamps: Lamarte.
 * Inspector Renard: Yes, his death certainly isn't going to help us any. Where's Francine?
 * Deschamps: He took her up there.
