One of the characters is French, and he says to another, _n’est-ce pas?_ and the other guy says something like “No thanks, I’m trying to quit.”

Is it a Pink Panther movie?

_Murder by Death_ has an exchange that goes …

“_N’est-ce pas?_”  
“No, cocoa.”

But that’s all I’ve got. 🙂

That’s it! That’s the one. I kept going through my head, trying to figure out who it was…Young Frankenstein? Nope. I didn’t think it was Pink Panther, but I couldn’t remember for sure!

Got it! Thank you SO much, Drae.

I’m pretty sure,  
Vincent (Jean Reno) _offers a ciggarette to Sam_ “n’est-ce pas?”  
Sam (Robert De Niro) _takes cigarette_ “No thanks, I’m trying to quit.”  
In [Ronin](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122690/).

CMC fnord!
