Jean-Baptiste Grenouille: I can make Amour and Psyche for you. Now.::Giuseppe Baldini: And you think I'd just let you sop around in my laboratory? With essential oils that are worth are fortune?::Jean-Baptiste Grenouille: Yes.::Giuseppe Baldini: Pay attention! What's your name, anyway?::Jean-Baptiste Grenouille: Jean-Baptiste Grenouille.::Giuseppe Baldini: Well, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, you will have the opportunity now to prove yourself.

Shall I fill this flask? [He picks up a large jar]::Giuseppe Baldini: No, you shall not! You may fill this one. [He hands Grenouille a small bottle]::Jean-Baptiste Grenouille: Yes, Master.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille: That's a really good perfume. [he holds the bottle out to Baldini, who turns away] Don't you want to smell it, Master?::Giuseppe Baldini: I'm not in the mood to test it now.

[he starts to drag Laura away]::Laura Richis: Stop it! I'm grown up! [Antoine slaps her. She runs away from him]::Antoine Richis: [chasing after her] Laura! Laura!

Narrator: In the period of which we speak, there reigned in the cities a stench barely conceivable to us modern men and women. Naturally, the stench was foulest in Paris, for Paris was the largest city in Europe. And nowhere in Paris was that stench more profoundly repugnant than in the city's fish-market. It was here then, on the most putrid spot in the whole kingdom, that Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was born on the 17th of July, 1738. It was his mothers fifth birth, she delivered them all here under her fish-stand, and all had been stillbirths or semi-stillbirths. And by evening the whole mess had been shoveled away with the fish-guts into the river. It would be much the same today, but then... Jean-Baptiste chose differently.

Antoine Richis: Forgive me... my son.

Executioner: He's innocent!

Various: He's an angel!

Giuseppe Baldini: Because it's a legend, you numbskull.
