"Writing again?" "I knew it!" "He used to bug us with that!" "That's why we're spending the summer here." "I'm sure he'll finish his novel." "For sure." "More of the same." "Stendhal wrote nothing decent before age 50." "There you go." "Literature professors!" "Bunch of frustrated writers!" "Yeah?" "And frustrated actresses." "How about them?" "Dunno."

""But in spite of the murderer's horror" ""before the body of his victim," ""he must hide the body," ""hack it to pieces," ""use what he has gained by his murder." ""And with fury," ""the murderer falls on the body," ""and hacks at it;" ""so Vronsky covered Anna's face and shoulders with kisses." ""She held his hand, and did not stir." "" 'Yes, and one hand," ""which will always be his " ""the hand of his accomplice.'" ""He sank on his knees," ""tried to see her face; but she hid it," ""and said nothing." ""At last," ""Anna got up and pushed him away." ""Her face was still as beautiful," ""but it was only the more pitiful for that."" "There." "Beautiful." "You should be an actor." "I know!" "Don't say that!" "It's never too late." "One more." "Blood of the earth." "Live alone, Genevieve?" "Absolutely." "I'm done being someone's slave." "Why slave?" "Why slave?" "Killer question." "Antoine, dear..." "Love between 2 people lasts 3 years, tops." "Then it turns to hate!" "Let's not exaggerate." "That's what drives people to suicide or murder." "Come on!" "It's all over the news!" "That's all there is on TV." "You sound like a broken record." "Not everyone's incapable of love like you." "I need the bathroom." "Careful." "You okay?" "Almost fell off my chair!" "Mom."

"Damn, it's hot." "Fuck, I'm so stoned." "Water's nice." "Hey, lovebirds!" "Sorry about the other day." "My mom's whack." "Your parents get along?" "They love each other?" "I think so." "Think my mom and your dad were ever in love?" "Dunno." "They seem to get along." "Your dad seems okay." "Mine left when I was 2." "Sometimes I think he's trapped somewhere and he'll come save me." "He's probably just a fucking coward." "I like you." "You're cute." "It's 5 a.m.!" "We watched every Star Wars." "Didn't notice the time." "Rough morning?" "Where's Mom?" "Went into town." "You're lucky." "She'll have time to cool down." "Going back to bed?" "He says, yawning." "Got an earful, huh?" "Thought we wouldn't notice?" "So?" "Tell me." "What'd you do last night?" "Just between us." "There was sort of a party." "Then we went swimming at a beach down there." "Look at me." "Who was there?" "Anna's friends." "She was super beautiful." "Hi." "Come over for coffee." "I'd like your opinion on a play I just received." "Don't know what to make of it." "It's pretty fucked up." "Be there in 5." "Who's that moron?" "Hold me back." "Hello, sir." "Hi." "If you need your lawn mowed," "I'm your guy." "How much?" "40." "For you, 30." "Come by in a few days." "Great." "See ya, Antoine." "You know him?" "He's Anna's boyfriend." "Get dressed." "Hit me, it's rock hard." "Go on, hit me." "Again." "Feels just as good." "Just wait till you read the play." "It's pretty weird." "What's going on?" "What'd I do?" "Fuck, talk to me!" "Got nothing to do with you." "Who is he?" "You don't own me!" "Where were you?" "Nowhere." "Where you going?" "Home." "Hey, Mom." "You okay?" "Got you a present." "Where's Dad?" "Went for a walk." "Been swimming for half an hour." "I'm starving." "Catch anything?" "Good timing." "Check it out." "It's ugly!" "No way I'm eating that." "Antoine caught it." "It's beautiful." "It's magnificent." "Nice fish, Antoine." "Stop!" "Don't wanna lose it!" "Put it back." "C'mere." "Sorry." "Antoine..." "I'll give you 20 bucks if you beat me there." "Not sure that's the best idea." "Mom's gonna give you hell." "Don't hurt yourself." "I'll come down." "See?" ""The coolness..." ""...of the morning air..." ""...seemed to increase..." ""...the brilliance of a complexion..." ""...which the agitation of the past night..." ""...made all the more sensible to every impression."" "We'll continue later." "Promise?" "You promised to take me across." "Sorry, my dad's fishing." "Thought you loved me more than that." "Can't you get a working motor?" "If you don't like it, leave." "Nothing works around here." "I got inspired." "I wrote nonstop." "We were so right to come." "No kidding." "Can we give Anna a lift?" "Hi, sweetheart." "If it's no bother." "I need books in town and our motor's broken." "Our pleasure." "I'll run errands." "Can I come?" "You promised." "Sorry." "A promise is a promise." "What's the direct object?" ""Happiness."" "Gave him back what? "The necessary freedom."" "That's the direct object." "It's after the verb and doesn't agree." "Understand?" "Sure?" "Done for the day, ma'am." "Thirsty?" "Come in for a drink." "I'll pay you." "Later." "Found everything?" "Thanks for the ride." "So kind." "Can you fix it?" "Come have a beer."

"Yes, but when it..." "Sorry." "It's okay." "Say, you seem" " I dunno - in rare form." "Have you...?" "Know the play?" "I got the part." "That's amazing." "What's it about?" "A woman kills her husband and feeds him to their children." "For real?" "Charming." "And... very trendy." "Did you know divorces now surpass marriages in the West." "So sad." "Why?" "Dunno..." "Some institutions are sacred." "They're worth preserving." "The Incas cut off their enemies' heads as a blood sacrifice to the gods." "That, too, was sacred." "Your father  screwed anything that moved and went to church every Sunday." "Don't listen, my boy." "My dad was no role model." "Y'know..." "Francois and I had our difficulties, but we still love each other." "I don't feel well." "Want some water?" "No, thanks." "What's wrong?" "Dunno." "She's been unbearable lately." "Just like her mom at that age." "Back in the day." "What?" "!" "I'm tired." "It happens to love someone who doesn't love you back." "At 16, I fell madly in love with my best friend's brother." "I thought about him constantly." "Couldn't sleep." "He never showed any interest." "When he got married, it took me weeks to get over it." "You know what?" "A few years later, I met your dad." "Best thing that ever happened to me." "It'll be okay." "Come on!" "No, I can't." "Come on." "Calm yourself!" "Calm down." "Calm yourself." "'Cause I can't." "'Cause she's my wife." "I love her." "What's going on?" "Pig!" "What are you doing?" "!" "How many d'you screw like that?" "Stop!" "They'll hear you!" "Fuck 'em!" "So I'm the best thing that happened to you!" "?" "Stop!"
