Sauve qui peut (la vie)

Isabelle Rivière: I don't have any money. Pass me a cigarette.
Isabelle's sister: I'm not asking you for it.
Isabelle Rivière: What then? What then, I don't follow?
Isabelle's sister: I wanted to ask about turning tricks like you. Just for a week or two. That's all.
Isabelle Rivière: Two times seven times four, divided by two - two weeks wouldn't do it. You'd need a good month.
Isabelle's sister: If that's what it takes.
Isabelle Rivière: You realize what you'll have to do?
Isabelle's sister: Yes.
Isabelle Rivière: You got big breasts?
Isabelle's sister: So-so.
Isabelle Rivière: Let me see.
[her sister lift's her shirt]
Isabelle Rivière: You got a thick bush?
Isabelle's sister: So-so.
Isabelle Rivière: What do you think you'll have to do?
Isabelle's sister: Suck cocks?
Isabelle Rivière: You ever done it?
Isabelle's sister: With Jacques, but not really. The sperm, do you have to swallow or just pretend?
Isabelle Rivière: Best to swallow it.
Isabelle's sister: How does it taste?
Isabelle Rivière: See for yourself. Have you ever licked a guy's asshole? You'll probably have to. But don't just say yes to everything. What guys like is to humiliate you.
Isabelle's sister: You said, "divided by two." Why?
Isabelle Rivière: Half for me.

Customer in Room 522: Alright, put lipstick on me, but only when he licks your ass. And you, Thierry, you like her ass only when the other one sucks you. And you, you suck him every time I touch your tits with my foot. Let's try it. Okay, the picture's good. Let's work on the sound. When I touch your breasts with my shoe, You say "ow" and then suck him. Go on.
Woman: Ow!
Customer in Room 522: Thierry, she sucks your dick, you say "oh" and then lick her ass. Let's try it.
Woman: Ow!
Secretary: Oh!
Customer in Room 522: And you, when he licks your ass, you say "hey" - like when you're goosed on the Métro. Go on, Thierry.
Isabelle Rivière: Hey!
Customer in Room 522: Then you put some lipstick on me. Just once. And if I smile, you kiss me. Let's try it.
Woman: Ow!
Secretary: Oh!
Isabelle Rivière: Hey!

Customer in Room 522: Know what they called women in the Middle Ages?
Secretary: I don't know.
Customer in Room 522: And you?
Isabelle Rivière: I don't know.
Customer in Room 522: You know? Do you know?
Woman: Witches.
Customer in Room 522: What else?
Woman: Snares of the devil, embers of Hell.
Customer in Room 522: Where'd the bitch get that from? Huh? Where'd you get that?
Woman: I heard it on the radio.

Denise Rimbaud: People always say - they always say - they say you need someone to lean on. I wanted someone to lean *with*. We've never really leaned on each other. We never leaned on each other. Something seemed to stop us.

Paul Godard: Sometimes not knowing someone makes it more interesting. Passionate, even.

Piaget: Your hair is still lovely, like ebony.
Denise Rimbaud: You were such a critic of the inheritance system, yet now you act just like your father.
Piaget: That's true. At first it felt very odd, taking over his business. It was awful. That's all revolution is about. But, it's fine now.

Hotel Attendant: I love you, sir.
Paul Godard: You mean my soul, right?
Hotel Attendant: No, your body.
Paul Godard: What?
Hotel Attendant: Your body, sir. Don't be mad. I want you to fuck my ass. Fuck me, sir. I've been fucked by half the Navy. There's nothing better than a nice little asshole.

Piaget: It's the idea of a "novel" that made me so passionate about your letter.
Denise Rimbaud: That's not passion.
Piaget: By describing secondary events, you shed light on the main issues and reveal the truth that the secondary role is the main one.

Denise Rimbaud: Why did you keep that picture of me? I don't look like that anymore.
Piaget: Call it madness.

Paul Godard: You hear what Castro said?
Coach: No.
Paul Godard: He's moaning that the fucking Cubans don't work as well as Americans.
Coach: Oh, yeah? The truth always comes out.

Girl who won't choose: I won't choose. I won't choose. I won't choose! I won't choose! I won't choose!

Paul Godard: I have eyes and I see what's what.
Denise Rimbaud: You always wanted love to come from work, things we could do together, not just at night. You said our nights should grow out of our days, not vice versa.
Paul Godard: It's not me. That's how people live. We both agreed love couldn't survive without a little work. Otherwise it's just bursts of passion - nothing that lasts.
Denise Rimbaud: It's too hard when it lasts.

Paul's ex-wife: What about Cécile's present?
Paul Godard: Here.
[tosses Cécile some t-shirts]
Paul Godard: Take yours off and put that on.
Paul's ex-wife: You're being a jerk.
Paul Godard: Why? Because I want to see her breasts?
Paul's ex-wife: You're either a bastard or you're drunk.
Paul Godard: I'm not drunk. I'm finished. Cécile's good at math. Ask her what a finite world means.

Denise Rimbaud: I want to stop defining things and just do them. Call that what you will.

Paul Godard: Let me see your notes. Here we are. "I make films to keep myself busy. If I had the strength I'd do nothing at all. Because I can't bear to do nothing, I make films. There's no other reasons. That's the most honest thing I can say about my work." That goes for me too.

Paul Godard: Did you sleep well?
Cecile: No, too many dreams.
Paul Godard: Dreams are always terrible. Even in dreams you keep looking for solutions.

Isabelle's sister: Are you happy?
Isabelle Rivière: Oh, no. My life's full of stories. But not real stories. Nothing to make history.
Isabelle's sister: In a café the other night, a guy said happiness has no history.
Isabelle Rivière: Then I'm happy.
