• Adrien : We are always someone else's slave. I find less dishonor in living at a friend's house, than in being paid by the State. Today, most people do useless work. Three quarters of all activities are parasitic. I'm not a parasite, the bureaucrats, the technicians are.

• Adrien : In all sincerity, I think I serve mankind better by taking it easy than by working. It's true. It takes courage to not work.

• Adrien : You're a little immoral slut!

  Haydée : I definitely don't agree with your morals.

  Adrien : I don't either.

• Haydée : I found a definition for Haydée. She's a collector! Haydée, if you sleep around without premeditation you are the lowest of the low. The atrocious ingenue. But, if you collect in a consistent way, with obstinacy, it's a plot, things are entirely different.

  Daniel : Yes, but she collects badly.

  Haydée : I'm not a collector.

  Adrien : Don't say that. It's your only quality.

  Haydée : You're completely wrong. I'm searching. I'm searching to find something.
