Quotes 

• Marie : Don't you believe in anything?

  Merchant : I believe in what I own. I love money. I hate death.

  Marie : You'll die like everyone else.

  Merchant : I will bury them all.

• Marie : You bore me.

  Jacques : Don't be angry.

  Marie : You see our names carved on this bench, our games with Balthazar. But I don't see a thing. I've no more tenderness, no heart, no feelings. Your words don't affect me anymore. Our vows of love, our childhood promises, were in a world of make-believe, not reality. Reality is different.

• Marie : It's not money I need but a friend.

  Merchant : Yes, yes. A friend.

  Marie : A friend who can tell me how to run away. I've always wanted to.

  Merchant : Run away?

  Marie : Run away. A friend to share my pleasures and pain.

  Merchant : I'll share your pleasures and pain. But I hope it's more pleasure than pain.

• Marie : They say you hide gold coins and cash in your shoes. What good does it do you?

• Jacques : Father wants to return what your father lost in the suit.

  Marie : He won't accept it. He's retreated into his pride. He takes pride in his suffering.

• Marie : It's so ugly here. This is a place to die in. With no regrets.

• Marie's mother : Your father's suffering. He only lives for us.

  Marie : He loves his misery more than us. He thrives on it.

• Marie : It's all been spoiled and wasted, just as it was about to pay off. So much has been swept away in so little time.

• Marie : Oh, Jacques, how I've dreamed about you, a boy like you, honest, a bit silly, who'd say, "Be mine. It's not your fault."

  Jacques : What isn't your fault?

• Marie : What an awakening! Enough to drive you mad.
