Quotes
-
Antoine Richis : Why did you kill my daughter?
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : I just needed her.
Antoine Richis : Very well, but remember this... I'll be looking at you when you're laid on the cross and the twelve blows are crashing down on your limbs. When the crowd is finally tired of your screams and wandered home, I will climb up through your blood and sit beside you. I will look deep into your eyes... and drop by drop I will trickle my disgust into them like burning acid until... finally... you perish.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : Don't you want to smell it, Master?
Giuseppe Baldini : I'm not in the mood to test it now. I have other things on my mind.
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : But Master...
Giuseppe Baldini : Go! Now!
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : Can I come to work for you, Master, can I?
Giuseppe Baldini : Let me think about it.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : I can make Amour and Psyche for you. Now.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : Yes.
Giuseppe Baldini : Pay attention! What's your name, anyway?
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : Jean-Baptiste Grenouille.
Giuseppe Baldini : Well, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, you will have the opportunity now to prove yourself. And your grandiose failure will also be a lesson in humility.
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : How much do you want me to make?
Giuseppe Baldini : How much of what?
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : How much Amour and Psyche do you want me to make? Shall I fill this flask?
[He picks up a large jar]
Giuseppe Baldini : No, you shall not! You may fill this one.
[He hands Grenouille a small bottle]
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille : Yes, Master.
