Johanna : Talk to me some more
Jacques : It's hard, you know. I don't know what else to say. You're so far away.
Johanna : Tell me a story.
Jacques : A story? Do you now how it is- do you know what you're supposed to do, to meet a mermaid?
Johanna : No.
Jacques : You go down to the bottom of the sea, where the water isn't even blue anymore, where the sky is only a memory, and you float there, in the silence. And you stay there, and you decide, that you'll die for them. Only then do they start coming out. They come, and they greet you, and they judge the love you have for them. If it's sincere, if it's pure, they'll be with you, and take you away forever.
Johanna : I like that story

Johanna : 6'3", 6'1", maybe 5'9" - You can't be sure, you know the flippers, they add height or they take it away, or something. Anyway short dark hair... Not punk or anything, just short. And the cutest smile. He wasn't smiling at me, I don't think - just smiling. And he thought he saw me in the lake. I mean that was a figure of speech... They're so romantic, the French.
Sally : [bored] I thought you said he was Peruvian?
Johanna : Haven't you been listening?
Sally : ...Since eight o'clock last night...! You're in love.
Johanna : Don't be a jerk. There's no such thing as love at first sight.
