Charlie Chan in Paris

Yvette Lamartine:
Too bad you don't dance, Mr. Chan.

Charlie Chan:
Mud turtle in pond more safe than man on horseback.

Charlie Chan:
Perfect case, like perfect doughnut, has hole.

Inspector Renard:
Ha, I see. Same old pessimist, aren't you?

Charlie Chan:
Optimist only sees doughnut. Pessimist sees hole.

Charlie Chan:
Hasty conclusion like gunpowder. Easy to explode.

Charlie Chan:
Grain of sand in eye may hide mountain.

Charlie Chan:
Cannot see contents of nut until shell is cracked.

Charlie Chan:
Joy in heart more desirable than bullet.
