Le petit lieutenant

Mireille, la logeuse:
[after Antoine introduces himself as Lieutenant Derou?re] These days, it's "Lieutenant" and "Captain." It's too much like the Army. Not that I don't like the Army, but "Monsieur l'Inspecteur"... It makes me think of Maigret...

Antoine Derou?re:
[Noticing a lizard in a terrarium in the office] Why keep lizards here?

Homicide detective:
They help me to relax.

Antoine Derou?re:
I don't like to see animals locked up. Fish in a bowl suck!

Homicide detective:
You're paid to lock Arabs and Blacks up. If you freak out over lizards, you won't get far.

Young man:
[He approaches Commandant Vaudieu and Antoine, who are sharing a marijuana cigarette] Excuse me, can I have a drag? [Antoine pauses and looks at Vandieu, who assents. He gives the joint to the stranger] Thanks. [He takes a long drag] Watch out. [Returning the joint] This place is crawling with cops. [He leaves] Au revoir.
