Chanel Solitaire

Emilienne d'Alen?on:
[recognizing the man accompanying Coco Chanel] Small demi-monde, *hein*?

Etienne de Balsan:
I never made love to a woman in jodhpurs. I wonder what it's like.

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:
Difficult.

Etienne de Balsan:
You work too hard.

Boy Capel:
You work too never. Look, I won't be a moment. Saddle up some horses and we'll go for a ride.

Etienne de Balsan:
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:
[about her father] He's in America. He's a millionaire I believe. I haven't seen him for years. And that's about all.

Boy Capel:
I never knew my father. I was born on the wrong side of the blanket.

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:
The wrong side of the blanket?

Boy Capel:
I'm a bastard.

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:
I don't believe you. You are just saying that to make me feel better.

Etienne de Balsan:
I picked the girl out of the gutter. I made a home for her. She was a nobody before she met me. I feel cheated by you.

Boy Capel:
Etienne. You don't own her. She doesn't belong to you. Coco and I did nothing to be ashamed of. We love each other very much.

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:
Children. Now, children. Monsieur Poiret, in his day, designed some awfully pretty harem pants. The simple black dress, however, takes invention.

Boy Capel:
I came to tell you that I was wrong. I want you back.

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:
You want me back? I never went anywhere.

Boy Capel:
How long has that been going on?

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:
You have no right to ask. But I am going to tell you something. She is not the only one. I have lots of other lovers. I have everything now. Love. And success. My life is fulfilled and I don't need you anymore.

Boy Capel:
You call a succession of men and women love? Does it make you happy?

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:
At least it doesn't make me unhappy.
