Quote #10

HONORÉ: My dear, dear boy. How did it happen? She changed her mind?

GASTON: Obviously.

HONORÉ: How delicious! Did you have to improve the arrangement?

GASTON: Please don't be vulgar.

Honoré isn't being vulgar—he just knows how this game is usually played and assumes that Gigi was just after more money. This is what women wanted, after all. Gaston wants to distance himself from it, but of course he did offer a generous "arrangement" at first.

Quote #11

HONORÉ: She can amuse you for months!

Women are playthings, according to Honoré. Keep in mind that Gigi is someone Gaston's known all her life as a dear friend of the family. Honoré knows this, and he can still make a comment like this about her. Gigi knows how easily Gaston could dump her and move on to the next beauty—she's seen him do it—and that's not what she wants for herself.
