Man on the Train quotes

  • Monsieur Manesquier: [after an abortive confrontation] I suppose my time hasn't come.

    Milan: That took guts.

    Monsieur Manesquier: I try picking a fight and find someone who likes me.

    Milan: You have two of everything?

    Monsieur Manesquier: [smiles] No, three!
