Quotes 

• Sappho : You can marry Helene. You can have her if you like.

  Phil : I'm not a Turk. I can't have two wives. It's in the rules.

  Sappho : Don't be so boring, Phil. There are no rules in this game. There's nothing we can imagine that's not allowed. What's love is love.

  Phil : Well, what's loyalty is that too. Don't you care if I sleep with other women now?

  Sappho : You can sleep with other boys too if you like.

  [to Helene] 

  Sappho : Will you marry my husband?

  Helene : Yes.

  Sappho : Then it's perfect. It's all that simple. We can all be married to one another.

• Phil : And? What comes next?

  Helene : It's lost. We'll never know.

  Sappho : Perhaps we should decide for ourselves.

• Phil : Don't you understand? Nothing good will come out of this game. All of us being together will not last. We'll take sides, get jealous, and start to hate one another.

  Sappho : Just like it happens when two normal people get married?

  Phil : Maybe. But that's how it is most times. It's the way nature meant it to be.

  Sappho : [to Helene]  You see Helene, that's what makes Phil a bad painter. He paints ordinary pictures that ordinary people will buy.
