"The difference between you and I is that you can leave anytime you choose. But this is my home. The Moulin Rouge is my home."

"Christian, I'm a courtesan. I'm paid to make men believe what they want to believe."

"Welcome, to the Moulin Rouge!"

"Invest? Invest! Oh yes, well, invest! You can hardly blame me for trying to hide, uh, Christian away."

"Outside it may be raining, but in here it's entertaining!"

"Why would the courtesan choose the penniless sitar player over the maharajah, who is offering a lifetime of security? That's real love. Once the sitar player has satisfied his lust, he will leave the courtesan with nothing."

"I forgot my hat. [seeing Satine passed out with Christian on the bed] Foul play?!"

"You expect me to believe that scantily clad, in the arms of another man, in the middle of the night, inside an elephant, you were "rehearsing"?"

"I don't care about your ridiculous dogma!"

"Satine will be mine. It's not that I'm a jealous man... I just don't like other people touching my things!"

"And in the end should someone die?"

"Generally I like it."
