[last lines]
[in French, using English subtitles]
Florence, 'Cléo Victoire' : Why?
Antoine : I'm sorry I'm leaving. I'd like to be with you.
Florence, 'Cléo Victoire' : You are. I think my fear is gone. I think I'm happy.
-
Florence, 'Cléo Victoire' : Have you ever been in love?
Antoine : Often, but never as deeply as I wanted. Girls just like to be loved. They're afraid to give themselves, to lose something. The love by halves. Their bodies are playthings, not their lives. So I stop halfway too. Excuse me for saying all this.
Florence, 'Cléo Victoire' : No, you're right.
-
Antoine : Nudity should be for everyone, like summer.
Florence, 'Cléo Victoire' : What does that mean?
Antoine : Nakedness is simplicity itself. Love, birth, the dawn, the sun, the beach, all that.
-
Antoine : Great feelings are full of vanity, and great minds, of foolishness.
-
Antoine : You seem to be waiting for something, rather than someone.
-
Florence, 'Cléo Victoire' : My name is Florence. I'm called Cléo, short for Cleopatra.
Antoine : What a name! Florence. It conjures up thoughts of Italy, the Renaissance, Botticelli, a rose. Cleopatra! Egypt, the Sphinx, the asp, a tigress. I prefer Florence.

Antoine : Nudity moves me. Striptease is moving as well as sexy.
Florence, 'Cléo Victoire' : You're often moved, then.
Antoine : Not often. Nudity is rare.
