• June Miller : What don't I understand?

  AnaÔs Nin : That I love you.

  June Miller : Love? You just want experience. You're a writer. You make love to whatever you need. You're just like Henry.

• AnaÔs Nin : I'm passing through a crisis Eduardo.

  Eduardo Sanchez : Be careful Anais, abnormal pleasures kill the taste for normal ones.

• Henry Miller : All right, I'll tell you. June appeared like an Angel, and I offered her a fool's faith. She was a taxi dancer. I paid my dime, she put her head on my shoulder, but then the lies began. She told me her mother was a gypsy and her father was a count. Later, I saw a film and realized she swiped her whole childhood right out of the film.

  AnaÔs Nin : And so?

  Henry Miller : So I married her.

• Henry Miller : Hell of a place you got here, Hugo. Peaceful. Been here long?

  Hugo Guiler : Just since the crash.

  Henry Miller : Since the crash? How did you live before?

  Hugo Guiler : We lived well. This is Henry Miller, the American writer Osborn is putting up. My wife, Anais Nin.

  Henry Miller : How are you, Anis?

  Hugo Guiler : Eduardo Sanchez, Anais' cousin. Anais, you should read Henry's stuff.

  Richard Osborn : For my money, he's got it over D.H. Lawrence.

  AnaÔs Nin : I'd love to read your writing.

  Richard Osborn : He hasn't been published yet.

• Richard Osborn : Then he steals my ideas and puts them in his novels.

  AnaÔs Nin : Henry wouldn't do that, Richard.

  Richard Osborn : I'm sure of it.

• AnaÔs Nin : How would you lie to June if you were making love to her?

  Hugo Guiler : Making love to her?

  AnaÔs Nin : Yes. To her body. To her voluptuous body. She is so perverse, so naked. Tell her that you love her.

  Hugo Guiler : I love you.

• AnaÔs Nin : Posses her like a man. I want to fuck her like a man. Fuck her, Hugo.

  Hugo Guiler : I am fucking her, pussy willow.

• Henry Miller : She is my fucking wife.

  AnaÔs Nin : You don't understand your own fucking wife.

• AnaÔs Nin : Oh, Henry, I want to know what you want to know. I want my life to match your life.
