Movie Quotes for Monsieur+Verdoux

The Prosecutor: Never, never in the history of jurisprudence have
  such terrifying deeds been brought to light. Gentlemen of the jury,
  you have before you a cruel and cynical monster. Look at him! [all
  heads turn to face Verdoux, who turns around himself to look
  behind.] Observe him, gentlemen. This man, who has brains, if he
  had decent instincts, could have made an honest living. And yet, he
  preferred to rob and murder unsuspecting women. In fact, he made a
  business of it. I do not ask for vengeance, but for the protection
  of society. For this mass killer, I demand the extreme penalty:
  that he be put to death on the guillotine. The State rests its
  case.
Judge: Monsieur Verdoux, you have been found guilty. Have you
  anything to say before sentence is passed upon you?
Henri Verdoux: Oui, monsieur, I have. However remiss the prosecutor
  has been in complimenting me, he at least admits that I have
  brains. Thank you, Monsieur, I have. And for thirty-five years I
  used them honestly. After that, nobody wanted them. So I was forced
  to go into business for myself. As for being a mass killer, does
  not the world encourage it? Is it not building weapons of
  destruction for the sole purpose of mass killing? Has it not blown
  unsuspecting women and little children to pieces? And done it very
  scientifically? As a mass killer, I am an amateur by comparison.
  However, I do not wish to lose my temper, because very shortly, I
  shall lose my head. Nevertheless, upon leaving this spark of
  earthly existence, I have this to say: I shall see you all...very
  soon...very soon.

[to the court, after being found guilty of murder]
Henri Verdoux: I shall see you ALL soon - very soon.

Henri Verdoux: Wars, conflict - its all business. One murder makes a
  villain; millions, a hero. Numbers sanctify, my good fellow!

Priest: May the Lord have mercy on your soul.
Henri Verdoux: Why not? After all, it belongs to Him.

Henri Verdoux: Business is a ruthless business, my dear.

Henri Verdoux: Its the approach of death that terrifies.
The Girl: I suppose, if the unborn knew of the approach of life,
  theyd be just as terrified.

Henri Verdoux: Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into
  indifference.
