  Yasmine : My name is Yasmine. I'm three months pregnant. One day, someone said "Men are born free with equal rights". The world in which I live is the opposite. Who would want to be born to grow up in the chaos and the hate? I've decided to spare him the worst.

• Infirmière urgences : What's going on here?

  Yasmine : Please, help us, he's losing a lot of blood.

  Infirmière urgences : How did he do that?

  Yasmine : I don't know if you're aware, but there's a big mess outside!

• Sami : Yas, keep it. The baby; keep it.

  Yasmine : I didn't want it to be known. If mom knows that...

  Sami : Don't give a damn about the family. It's your life, not theirs.

• Eva : [stroking Yasmine's hair]  It's beautiful. I'm gonna have to cut it. Father doesn't like black hair.

  [Eva grabs scissors and begins to cut her hair] 

  Eva : Father says we belong to the perfect race. He came to live here after the big war. Me? They took me from my parents when I was a child. They raised me here, telling me that one day, my parents would come looking for me, if I was smart and did what they said. Father wanted me to grow up quick so I could give him an heir. Then came providence, but our children were born with problems. They're not normal. I'm expecting my fourth. Father says it's because of the blood.

  Yasmine : Why are you staying here?

  Eva : Because I'm waiting for my parents to come get me. They promised. I know one day they will come to get me. We can't abandon our children like that. I know what I'm talking about. I love mine. When they were born, Father wanted to get rid of them. So Hans and I, we hid them. Now they live in the mine. When I have time, I try to go see them. Without them, I think I'd be dead in here.
