• Héloïse : They were nearing the surface, approaching the threshold, when, fearing losing Eurydice and impatient to see her, her loving spouse turned.

  Sophie : No, he can't look at her for fear of losing her. That's no reason. He was told not to do that.

  Héloïse : He's madly in love. He can't resist.

  Marianne : I think Sophie has a point. He could resist. His reasons aren't serious. Perhaps he makes a choice.

  Sophie : What choice?

  Marianne : He chooses the memory of her. That's why he turns. He doesn't make the lover's choice, but the poet's.

  Héloïse : She spoke a last farewell that scarcely reached his ears and fell back into the abyss. Perhaps she was the one who said, Turn around.

• Sophie : We were walking by the cliffs. She was behind me and vanished. I saw her broken body below.

  Marianne : Did you see her fall?

  Sophie : No. I think she jumped.

  Marianne : Why do you think that?

  Sophie : She didn't cry out.

• Marianne : I haven't seen her smile.

  Sophie : Have you tried to be funny?
