Clouseau: There is someone in this room who knows more about the murder than he is telling.
Mrs. Japonica: Murder?
Clouseau: What was that you said?
Mrs. Japonica: I said "murder".
Clouseau: What murder?
Mrs. Japonica: I-I-I don't know, y-you said "murder".
Clouseau: I said murder? *You* said murder!
Mrs. Japonica: No, I said murder because *You* said murder.
Clouseau: *I* said murder?
Mr. Shork: You said there is someone in this room who knows more about the murder than he is telling.
Quinlan: You'll need help.
Clouseau: I prefer to do this alone.
Quinlan: Yes, but if Dreyfus is what we suspect, he probably has an army behind him.
Clouseau: No, of course it won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. That is why I have always failed where others have succeeded.
(Suddenly the American football game is interrupted just before the end by Charles Dreyfus' transmission)
The President: Call the FBI, the CIA and the Pentagon. Find out who won that game!
Bar Patron: Something wrong, Ainsley?
Ainsley Jarvis: No of course not, Bruno. The Inspector here was just warning me that I had to watch my step. You see, back in France, he's known as King of the Tango.
Clouseau: (shocked) Tango?
Ainsley Jarvis: Oh, I'd love to.
(after Clouseau accidentally reduces a piano to a pile of splinters)
Mrs. Leverlilly: You've ruined that piano!
Clouseau: What is the price of one piano compared to the terrible crime that's been committed here?
Mrs. Leverlilly: But that's a priceless Steinway!
Clouseau: Not anymore!
Dreyfus: Compared to Clouseau, this doomsday machine is just a water pistol.
(Clouseau has dressed himself as a local doctor/dentist in order to gain access to the gothic castle that is Dreyfus' headquarters; he is now examining Dreyfus for a bad tooth, but accidentally puts his thumb in Dreyfus' eye instead)
Dreyfus: OW! My eye!
Clouseau: Your eye? I thought it was your tooth.
Dreyfus: Hmm? It IS my tooth!
Clouseau: I wish you'd make your mind up; I don't normally make castle-calls in the middle of the night yeu kneuw!
Clouseau: (after listening to Dreyfus singing "Over the Rainbow" at the insane asylum) I'm afraid today is just not your day, my friend.
Dreyfus: (quickly stands up) Oh, but it is! It is, my "friend" after three, long terrible years it is AT LAST my day! I will not permite, "repeat," not permit anything..."repeat" anything to spoil it. Now, I will walk you to the gate, to the car which should rightfully be mine. And then I will kiss you goodbye!
(kisses Clouseau's cheeks)
Dreyfus: And then I will have my meeting with the sanitary commision where I will set free! And then...
(gets hit in the head with an arrow and turns to Clouseau)
Dreyfus: I will kill you!
(starts choking him)
Clouseau: (running away) Francois! Start the car!
Dreyfus: (chasing close behind) KILL YOU! KILL YOU!
Clouseau: Well now, I expect you're all wondering why I asked you here
(steps on Mrs. Japonica's foot. She screams)
Clouseau: (chatting with Scotland Yard about sniffing out Dreyfus, who now has Europe's most infamous hitmen working for him) Of course it won't be easy; nothing worthwhile ever is. That is why I have always failed where others have succeeded.
Clouseau: (disguised as Dr. Schirtz) Hello... It's Dr. Schirtz from the village, you know.
Clouseau: Allow me to assist you.
Dreyfus: No! I'm fine. Never better. Just a little... a little shaky. Probably the shock of... I mean, the surprise of seeing you here again today.
Clouseau: (after knocking Cato unconscious, goes to answer the phone) Relax. I'll get it.
Clouseau: Tell me do you have a reum?
Hotel Clerk: I do not know what a 'reum' is.
Clouseau: (looks up the word 'room' in his German dictionary) Zimmer.
Hotel Clerk: Ah, a 'room'.
Clouseau: That is what I have been saying, you idiot. Reum. Zimmer.
Dreyfus: Every day and in every way, I am getting better, and better.
