  Camille Germain : Take the opportunity to move, to find something smaller.

  Émilie Wong : I can't move out!

  Camille Germain : Why not?

  Émilie Wong : It's my grandmother's.

  Camille Germain : It's your grandmother's place? Why didn't you ever tell me?

  Émilie Wong : You never asked. What's the difference?

  Camille Germain : You pay rent?

  Émilie Wong : No.

  Émilie Wong : That's the difference. I'm your unearned income. I pay to live with you and bear you.
