Cousin, Cousine (1975)
Victor Lanoux: Ludovic
Quotes
-
Ludovic : It's a shame. People should look for adventure, if only for an hour every so often.
-
Ludovic : When I first moved to Paris, I lived near the Folies-Bergeres. I used to leave my door ajar, hoping a girl would wander in. No luck.
Marthe : When I was younger, I kept falling in love. I'd see a boy, I'd like him. I couldn't sleep. I'd be crazy about him, but I wouldn't let him touch me. I was so stupid.
-
Ludovic : We'll keep it platonic and just enjoy being together.
Marthe : They'll be jeolous.
Ludovic : So what? Our conscience will be clear. The years will go by. We'll be a stunning couple. "Do you realize they've been together 20 years and have never had sex?" "No, really!"
Marthe : [laughs] What we have is fabulous. Will it stay that way?
-
Ludovic : Music, champagne. What a life!
-
Marthe : What a pretty hat.
Ludovic : It'd look great on you.
Marthe : My husband hates me to wear hats.
Ludovic : Then I'll buy it for you.
Marthe : Okay! I'll wear it home. The look on his face! What does your wife hate?
Ludovic : Flashy ties. She thinks they're vulgar.
Marthe : I'll buy you a hideous tie.
Ludovic : Great! I'll wear it to the clinic!
-
Marthe : What's going to happen now?
Ludovic : We could say "tu" and "toi."
Marthe : That's not easy for me. But I promise I'll try.
Ludovic : Then two things. First we either sleep together or we don't.
Marthe : If we do, we'll have to lie, you to your wife and me to Pascal. Kind of pathetic, isn't it? Or we could do it and then say goodbye forever.
Ludovic : Then I'd rather not.
-
Ludovic : As a boy, I wanted to be a bum. My parents wouldn't let me.
