You can devote yourself to this and that, to projects or causes, but it's always the same letdown, so to hell with it all!

  Christine Surgère : Exactly what I could do with my future.

  Eric Irvin : No, she's at home. She's not very fond of music. She always seems to be dancing to some other tune.
