"un bon mot" is a wisecrack / a witty remark
Actually listen to people talking.Think about what you're doing; if it doesn't read right, it's not right.Make it consistent with character; eg do not have a stupid character suddenly coming out with the perfect witty remark randomly, out of nowhere. Either they have to have a background to the remark or you have to give that remark to another character.
