Ben Gazzara: John Sage
Quotes
-
Kenji : Shame on you.
John Sage : Excuse me?
Kenji : Aren't you ashamed of seducing such a young woman? Behave, like an old man.
John Sage : Do I look like an old man?
Kenji : Ofcourse! You don't think you're still a teenager, do you?
John Sage : No, not for some time.
Kenji : So, find someone your age.
John Sage : Young man, I know all this seems a little absurd to you. When I was your age, I felt the same way. But when you're a little older, you'll understand.
Kenji : [laughs] I'm glad I won't have to.
[sits down at the table]
Kenji : You should let her go, she doesn't belong to you. That young lady needs to meet guys of her age.
John Sage : You wanna meet her, is that right?
Kenji : No, not me. I'm dying tonight.
John Sage : Excuse me?
Kenji : Don't worry, I'm not comitting suicide. I just found out that I'm going to die tonight. That's all.

John Sage : How are you gonna die?
Kenji : Um, she didn't tell me that part, so...
John Sage : She?
Kenji : Death. Well, she showed up this morning and told me that I'm going to die tonight, so she hopes that I can do whatever I want. Isn't that nice?
John Sage : Well, aren't you gonna fight her?
Kenji : What for? I'm not a fool. Would you?

John Sage : I'd like you to come to my place tonight. Anouk and I are hosting a small dinner party and we'd like you to be there. I'll give you the adress. I think it should be fun, if you have nothing better to do. There'll be girls there. Your age.
Kenji : Oh, thank you for your invitation, but what's the use?
John Sage : Well, you say you're gonna die tonight. Don't you think you should live life to the last minute? The last second?

Kenji : Mr. Sage, if you want, you can fuck me. Why not? Let's all get fucked!
John Sage : I think you better leave.
Kenji : Yeah, sure. This is your place and you're being a wonderful host and I should be grateful, shouldn't I? But I'm acting like an asshole! I know that. What do you want from me, though? Why did you invite me here? Why did you invite a guy who says he's going to die? And you!
[turns to Anouk]
Kenji : Why do you pretend you don't remember me? Didn't we kiss? Didn't we enjoy it? Why do you deny it?
John Sage : What's he talking about?
Kenji : Mr. Sage, I'm sorry, I know you don't like the truth but I saw Anouk at the gallery this morning before I met you and we kissed in front of your big paintings.
