Quotes 

• [Romain has told no one else of his terminal condition] 

  Laura : So why did you tell me?

  Romain : Because you're like me. You'll be dying soon.

• Laura : After your grandfather died, I was devastated. I thought I was going to die, so I left. I ran away. I abandoned my child, your father. I couldn't take care of him anymore. I'd see Jacques in his smile, in his eyes. They called me a bad mother, a whore even. Your father never forgave me, but I know I was right. If I hadn't left, if I hadn't had all those lovers, I would have died too. You can call it selfish, but it was a survival instinct.

• Laura : Tonight I'd like to slip away with you.

• Laura : So, who have you told?

  Romain : No one. Just you.

  Laura : Friends? Colleagues?

  Romain : Nobody at all. I told them I needed a vacation.

  Laura : What about your sister?

  Romain : You're crazy. No way.

• Laura : What's the matter? Can't you sleep?

  Romain : No, impossible.

  Laura : Want to talk?

  Romain : No, just sleep with you.

  Laura : You know I sleep naked.

  Romain : That's okay. I won't look.
