Henri Verdoux: For 30 years, I was a bank clerk, until the Depression of 1930, when I found myself unemployed. Then I became occupied in liquidating members of the opposite sex. It was a strictly business enterprise to support a home and family. Let me assure you, the career of a Bluebeard is by no means profitable. Only a person with undaunted optimism would embark on such a venture. Unfortunately, I did...
Henri Verdoux: Just read the headlines, that's all.
Mona: "Depression Worldwide - Unemployment spreads in all nations."
Henri Verdoux: Enough. It's too depressing.
Henri Verdoux: I'll tell you whether you're double-crossed or not... Just as I thought, phony, fake.
Annabella: What?!
Henri Verdoux: Glass you silly ass, glass.
Annabella: Don't you ever dare humiliate me again in public!
Henri Verdoux: I tried to stop you making a fool of yourself.
Annabella: I'm not so dumb. I won a lottery.
Henri Verdoux: Of all the effable nonsense, turning seawater into gasoline...
Annabella: If it's a success, we'll own the ocean, that's all.
Henri Verdoux: Preposterous.
Henri Verdoux: Have you read his treatise on suicide?
The Girl: Wouldn't interest me.
Henri Verdoux: Not if the end was simple? Say you went to sleep, and there was a sudden stoppage. Wouldn't you prefer it to this drab existence?
The Girl: I wonder.
Henri Verdoux: The approach of death terrifies.
The Girl: I suppose if the unborn knew of the approach of life, they'd be just as terrified. Yet life is wonderful.
Henri Verdoux: What's wonderful about it?
The Girl: Everything, a spring morning, a summer's night, music, art, love...
The Girl: You don't like women, do you?
Henri Verdoux: On the contrary, I love women. But I don't admire them.
The Girl: Why?
Henri Verdoux: Women are of the earth. Realistic. Dominated by physical facts.
The Girl: What nonsense!
Henri Verdoux: Once a woman betrays a man, she despises him. In spite of his goodness and position, she will give him up for someone inferior. That someone is more, shall we say, "attractive."
The Girl: How little you know about women!
Henri Verdoux: You'd be surprised.
The Girl: I was beginning to lose faith. Then this happens and you want to believe all over again.
Henri Verdoux: This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it.
The Girl: That isn't true. It's a blundering world and a very sad one, yet kindness can make it beautiful.
Henri Verdoux: You'd better go before your philosophy corrupts me.
Henri Verdoux: Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference.
The Girl: But that's giving up life.
Henri Verdoux: We must all give it up sooner or later.
The Girl: Yes, but not before our time.
Henri Verdoux: Why?
The Girl: Must you know the reason for everything?
Henri Verdoux: It might help a little if we did.
The Girl: Life is beyond reason. That's why you must go on. If it's only to fulfill your destiny.
Henri Verdoux: However remiss the Prosecutor has been, he at least admits that I have brains. Thank you, Monsieur, I have. And for thirty-five years I used them honestly. After that, nobody wanted them. So I was forced to go into business for myself.
Henri Verdoux: As for being a mass killer, does not the world encourage it? Is it not building weapons of destruction for the sole purpose of mass killing? Has it not blown unsuspecting women and little children to pieces. And done it very scientifically. As a mass killer, I am an amateur by comparison.
Henri Verdoux: Nevertheless... Upon leaving this spark of earthly existence, I have this to say. I shall see you all... very soon... very soon.
Henri Verdoux: What's all this talk about good and evil? Arbitrary forces. Too much of either will destroy us all.
Max: We can never have too much good.
Henri Verdoux: The trouble is, we've never had enough.
Henri Verdoux: Wars, conflict - it's all business. One murder makes a villain; millions, a hero. Numbers sanctify, my good fellow!
Henri Verdoux: Well, Father. And what can I do for you?
Father Ferro: Nothing, my son. I want to help you, if I can. I've come to ask you to make peace with God.
Henri Verdoux: I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
Father Ferro: Have you no remorse for your sins?
Henri Verdoux: Who knows what sin is.
Father Ferro: Born as it was from heaven from God's fallen angel? Who knows the ultimate destiny it serves? After all, what would you be doing without sin?
Father Ferro: May the Lord have mercy on your soul.
Henri Verdoux: Why not? After all, it belongs to Him.
Executioner: Here.
Henri Verdoux: What's that?
Executioner: Rum.
Henri Verdoux: No, thank you... Oh, just a moment. I've never tasted rum.
