• Lucas Steiner : [walking up a spiral staircase behind Marion]  Do you think I let you go first to be polite? Well, you're wrong! I wanted to look at your legs.

  [Marion laughs] 

• Lucas Steiner : Wait. Let me breathe in the smell of the stage. Wait for me.

• Lucas Steiner : From the cellar, I follow everything that goes on. When the lights are dimmed in the morning, I know it's rehearsal time. When they go on again, it's lunchtime. When all the lights go out at night, I tell myself, "In five minutes, Marion will be here."

• Marion Steiner : I'm simply exhausted.

  Lucas Steiner : So make yourself comfortable.

  Marion Steiner : No, I want to sleep at home, at the hotel. I'll go home.

  Lucas Steiner : So you're deserting the conjugal cave?

• Lucas Steiner : Do you remember, Marion? Remember?

  Marion Steiner : Remember what?

  Lucas Steiner : The elevator in that department store.

  Marion Steiner : Yes, I remember. I had the feeling everybody knew what we were doing. I was terrified.

  Lucas Steiner : You were only terrified?

  Marion Steiner : No, not only terrified.
