- Cammille B.: I really should calm down. I knew this would happen. It was coming. I should have said no, not a chance, not Paris. Even three years later, I can't.
- Ugo: Cammille, what's wrong?
- Cammille B.: Forgive me.
- Ugo: That's all you can say? I've never seen this, leaving before the bow on opening night. Even if you didn't like it, it's insulting!
- Cammille B.: To who?
- Ugo: To the public, to me, to the company, to everyone!
- Cammille B.: I didn't mean to insult anyone. I feel bad that it happened.
- Ugo: That's not enough. I want an explanation.
- Cammille B.: I can't explain.
- Cammille B.: Hello, Pierre.
- Pierre: Hello, Cammille.
- Cammille B.: In three years, I thought that you'd have changed your habits.
- Pierre: No, no, same morning prayer on the same bench. What's wrong?
- Cammille B.: Nothing. As you can see, I'm back in Paris, but I'm not staying. We leave for Vienna next week.
- Pierre: I see. You still like that life, I guess.
- Cammille B.: I like that life, absolutely.
- Pierre: I never forgot you. Three years, and not one day without thinking of you.
- Cammille B.: I don't want to know.
- Pierre: We'd like to have you for dinner. It was Sonia's idea. Is it possible?
- Cammille B.: Maybe Monday, our night off. I'll have to talk to Ugo.
- Pierre: Perfect. Ugo, he's the director?
- Cammille B.: Yes, he directs the company.
- Pierre: And you live with him?
- Cammille B.: Yes. Monday at what time?
- Pierre: Eight or nine. Come with Ugo.
- Ugo: What is he to you, this Pierre?
- Cammille B.: I lived with him before, before I - I lived with him when I was in Paris. He liked the play. He's not a bore, you know.
- Ugo: No, he's a good man. How long did you live with him?
- Cammille B.: Two years. Almost two years. But not quite.
- Ugo: What did it do to you to see him? Do you still love him?
- Cammille B.: No.
- Ugo: Why are you staring at me?
- Dominique 'Do': I think you're handsome. I'm just joking. Well, no. You have shadows under your eyes. Tired?
- Ugo: This play is harder and harder.
- Dominique 'Do': Mother and I plan to go tomorrow. It's not full?
- Ugo: Far from it, unfortunately. I'm delighted you're coming.
- Dominique 'Do': Mother will ask me to translate and explain everything. There will be "shhs" all around us.
- Arthur: You know each other?
- Dominique 'Do': What's it to you?
- Arthur: [leaving] I'm going to the kitchen. I'll need to talk to you.
- Dominique 'Do': He bugs me.
- Ugo: I think I bug him, too.
- Dominique 'Do': It's not you. It's you being with me.
- Ugo: Really?
- Dominique 'Do': He's not my brother. He's my half-brother. He has no rights over me.
- Sonia: How's the play going?
- Cammille B.: All right.
- Sonia: It's been awhile since you've been in Paris.
- Cammille B.: Three years.
- Sonia: It must seem strange.
- Cammille B.: Yes. Your ring is beautiful.
- Sonia: It's my engagement ring.
- Cammille B.: With Pierre?
- Sonia: No. My previous life. Another life. Very different.
- Ugo: I find that Sonia most appealing.
- Cammille B.: I don't doubt it. Thanks to you, that dinner was a catastrophe.
- Ugo: I don't agree. I had a good time.
- Cammille B.: Not me.
- Ugo: Why not?
- Cammille B.: I was ashamed of you. I was ashamed all evening.
- Ugo: I'm sorry. I'm an actor, not a university professor.
- Cammille B.: Don't be a hypocrite. Taking that superior air, it's unbearable!
- Sonia: I know what you were to him. Pierre hides nothing from me. I wasn't surprised.
- Cammille B.: I was. Surprised by you.
- Sonia: By me?
- Cammille B.: Yes. I don't know. By your calm, if you will. Am I being too frank?
- Sonia: No.
- Cammille B.: Pierre?
- Pierre: Is that you, Camille?
- Cammille B.: Yes. We have to see each other. I have to talk to you.
- Pierre: I want to see you, too. What's wrong? Is it urgent?
- Cammille B.: Yes. We have to talk. We have to. I can't go on like this.
- Pierre: Talk about what?
- Cammille B.: You know very well.
- Ugo: What's wrong today?
- Dominique 'Do': Nothing. I'm fine.
- Ugo: Yesterday, you were happier.
- Dominique 'Do': That's not true.
- Ugo: Happy, sad. Today, you're cold.
- Dominique 'Do': I'm not cold at all. I'm pensive. Better look for what you're looking for than worry about me.
- Ugo: What did I do? What did I say?
- Dominique 'Do': Nothing. You are as you are.
- Ugo: Maybe your brother likes burning books.
- Dominique 'Do': He loves beautiful bindings.
- Ugo: And money!
- Dominique 'Do': What are you trying to do? Turn me against him? You'll never succeed!
- Cammille B.: You're seeing Dominique tomorrow?
- Ugo: My old Goldoni quirk. She's helping.
- Cammille B.: I'm not questioning you.
- Ugo: Shall we have dinner?
- Cammille B.: I'm not hungry.
