Marie : Now you have a lover. How does it feel? Exciting? I'm sure you'll tell your friends. Will you boast about us?
Henrik : I can't give any guarantees, but we will get married.
Marie : But now? How do you feel right now? Haven't you longed for this? I never imagined it would be like this.
Henrik : I was quite afraid, actually.
Marie : And you're not now?
Henrik : No. Are you?
Marie : No, I'm never afraid of anything.
Henrik : I am.

Marie : How does it feel?
Henrik : What?
Marie : You said you're in love with me.
Henrik : You feel it in your chest and stomach. It's like your knees are full of applesauce, and your toes curl up. But it's mostly in the chest.
Marie : In the heart?
Henrik : I don't know. What about you?
Marie : Who said I was in love with you?
Henrik : You're right.
Marie : [She laughs lightly, pulling his arm around her shoulder] I think it's in my skin. I want you to touch me and stroke my skin with your hands. It's in my shoulders and elbows, and the palms of my hands. It tickles all over.
