• The Museum Guest : Hey, is this some sort of lost and found?

  The Guard : What's on display depends on what you've lost. It's all about the person who walks in. Only one visitor can occupy a room at any given time, and the exhibition changes in accordance with each individual. The rooms, you might say, are customized. Don't ask me how it works. I haven't a clue and it's not my job to know.

• The Museum Guest : I started losing my hair since 30. You got a room for that?

  The Guard : That room isn't too far. But you won't, of course, be able to get any of it back.

• The Guard : What about this one? The room of lost opportunity.

  The Museum Guest : I don't think so.

  The Guard : You don't know what you're missing.

• The Museum Guest : This is all you have? You mean your museum didn't have enough funding to bring my lost lovers? Are there at least pictures of them in this folder?

  The Guard : Go have a look at it. But don't think you can take it with you. It belongs to the past.

• The Guard : You of all people should know that love is a story - one we like to tell each other. It's a story that changes over time. Undergoes lots of revisions. And most often the original story gets lost in the process. Never to be found again.

• The Guard : I get it. He wants his youth back but more than that, he wonders how many years he has left. He sees the affair as a chance at recapturing something not just sexual but vital. Your P longs for something else, something higher, spiritual, let's call it the poetry, the music of life.
