Quotes 

• Étienne Meunier : [First Lines]  To succeed in life, three things are essential. Talent. Hard work. And luck. You might be very talented and work like a dog, but unless luck smiles on you at the right moment, your efforts are in vain.

• Étienne Meunier : Remember the other day when you asked why I hid things from you? I've thought about it. The problem is that you never really chose me.

  Clémence Meunier : Excuse me?

  Étienne Meunier : You're still their little girl. You were never really my wife. You didn't choose me. I chose you. I didn't have to marry the boss's daughter. I didn't need that to succeed. But when I saw you, I fell in love. You were funny, elegant and refined... You called me "sir". I'd never known anyone like you. And I said: "She's the woman I want to spend my life with." You just went along with it all. So I never felt I could really trust you. Whereas if you'd actually chosen me... maybe we could've been a couple. A real couple.

• Étienne Meunier : [Last Lines]  In the end, I think it's all a question of luck. You can analyze a problem from every angle, make all the predictions you want... At the end of the day, every decision comes down to "heads or tails". So the only real question is: Are you willing to let luck into your life?
