Quotes 

• Renee : You look bored. Don't let me keep you.

  Henri Husson : One's never bored in a bar, unlike in a church, alone with one's own soul.

• Renee : You remember Henriette?

  Séverine Serizy : Yes, very well.

  Renee : It seems - she's turning tricks.

  Séverine Serizy : What?

  Renee : In one of those houses. They say she's there several days a week. Can you believe it? Henriette! Of course, that's all so far from your world. But, can you imagine? A woman like you or me? Can you see her going with just anybody? In those places you don't get to choose. Old or not, lousy looking or not. Even with a man you love it can be unpleasant.

• Henri Husson : You should see a specialist about your obsessions.

  Renee : He's rich and idle. Those are his two main illnesses.

  Henri Husson : Don't forget the hunt. I also have a special weakness for the poor. I think of them when it snows, with no fur coats, no hope, no nothing.

• Pierre Serizy : [referring to Husson]  I like him. He's amusing.

  Séverine Serizy : He's strange.

  Renee : Worse than that.
