La Grande Bouffe quotes

  • Ugo: Wanting to be Marlon Brando is vanity.

  • Marcello: You should do a special menu. "A dinner offered by four Burgundian gentlemen to three nice Canterbury whores!"

    Philippe: Ah, so they're whores, eh?

    Michel: What did you expect?

    Philippe: I've got a great menu idea. "The Whore Menu"! A sauté of fat and lean given by four gourmand gourmets, epicures for three young ladies, in twelve courses.

    Marcello: That's it.

    Philippe: Crayfish à la Mozart on a bed of rice à la Sully, with Sauce Aurora.

    Marcello: Not bad.
