Quotes 

• Romain : In my dreams I'll sleep with anyone. My father, my mother... even myself as a kid. Guess I'm trying to do it all before dying.

• [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.

• [Romain's mother expresses her interest in Romain taking photographs of the family] 

  Sophie : Save you breath, Mom. We're not hip enough. He prefers actresses and models.

  La mère : Don't say that. He just hasn't had time yet.

  Le père : Of course.

  Romain : No, she's right.

  La mère : Why do you say that?

  Romain : I don't want to photograph her kids.

  Le père : Romaine, stop.

  Sophie : Leave it, Dad.

  Romain : And you know why? Because they sprang from you, and your ugly mug would be in the picture. It makes me want to puke.

  La mère : Romaine, stop it!

  Romain : No wonder your man left. It's like you made the kids alone.

• Le père : How are things with Sasha?

  Romain : Not bad, not great. We'll probably break up soon.

  Romain : Like in all couples, routine kills desire.

• Romain : You don't love me anymore.

  Sasha : I don't know.

  Sasha : Don't play with me.

• 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.

• Romain : Just once. One last time.

  Sasha : What's the point?

  Romain : Funny you should say that. I keep saying it to myself lately.
