Quotes 

• Nathalie : Oh, Baptiste, if only you wanted to, we could be so happy together. But you don't love me. Oh, I know. You like me. I don't want to be liked, I want your love! Loving is so easy.

• Jéricho : What's Baptiste got against me?

  Nathalie : Nothing. Only that you don't mind your own business.

  Jéricho : Is it his business what is or isn't mine? I've always lived all alone. So I take an interest in others. Always alone. That's not living. No one to love me. Nothing, zero, naught. If I were a widower, at least I'd have memories. But no woman would have me. They preferred petty fly-by-nights and libertines.

• Nathalie : How easy it must be.

  Garance : How easy what must be?

  Nathalie : Easy to go, then come back. You go. You're missed. Time works for you. Then you come back, embellished by memory. Yes, that must be easy.

• Frédérick Lemaître : It's Nathalie. Oooh, you're a real beauty now.

  Nathalie : I'm not beautiful, Frederick. Just happy.

  Frédérick Lemaître : Beauty and happiness go together.
