Lucy Cohu: Marianne Deroulard

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Paul Deroulard : Can't you understand! It's our future and Belgium's future that I'm thinking of! The Catholic church has narrowed your mind, Marianne, just as it has my mother's.

  Marianne Deroulard : But don't you see, Paul? You keep asking me to choose between *you* and my *faith*.

  Paul Deroulard : I can't believe what you're saying, Marianne. You mean fresh ideas have no place in your mind? My God, we're into a new century, but you are *stuck* in the last! Just like your damned clergy.

  Marianne Deroulard : Attacking the church won't help Belgium, Paul. It'll turn the people against you!

  Paul Deroulard : I don't attack it! I want it to open its eyes. As my wife, the wife of a government minister, you should support me in that!

  Marianne Deroulard : I married you for *love*, Paul, not to advance your political career!

  [she runs out] 

  Paul Deroulard : Marianne, come back here! Marianne!
