The Plague (1992)

Sandrine Bonnaire: Martine Rambert

Quotes 

• Martine Rambert : So, feelings are no longer allowed, huh?

  Doctor Bernard Rieux : In my case, no, I'm not here for that. I stayed in Oran because I'm a doctor.

  Martine Rambert : Oh yes, I know. And if you were a man, you'd have gone with your wife.

  Doctor Bernard Rieux : That's right.

• Martine Rambert : It makes me feel ashamed now.

  Doctor Bernard Rieux : Ashamed of what? Being happy when other people aren't? You were right, before I met you, I didn't know that to be happy, you had to work at it. Put your heart into, I always thought that one day happiness would just come along. That all you had to do was to avoid pain. But without pain, there's no happiness either.
