"who doesn't trust me!" "Come on..." "Caroline!" "Why go through all this for a little whore?" "Screw you!" "I'll hitch-hike back to Paris..." "Up to now," "I had tried to be logical...." "That was an error." "A man of action doesn't think." "That was what Carol needed." "So I disguised myself as a hoodlum." "Where's Carol?" "She doesn't want to see you... she's come to her senses" "Mardi Gras already?" "The wedding is tomorrow." "I never hit a woman!" "Took you long enough." "Now I understand." "I have to compromise you..." "Anything..." "I trust you." "A fortune... 2nd closet." "Enough chit-chat..." "Hurry up!" "You'll learn that love, is measured by what you sacrifice for it." "Where are the others?" "Beauty and the Beast?" "Forget them, they have no class." "Where as you..." "Affaire of state, my boy." "Caroline understand that, this is a important mission." "Superior interests are at stake." "You're a dreamer..." "I'm a man of action." "Let's go." "The boss needs to be whitewashed..." "he will be." "Question of politics... you wouldn't understand." "I thought it was money." "You'll get your share... and you'll be satisfied." "Like everyone else." "You don't know what love is!" "In Indochina a woman sold to a white man, if she loved him would slowly poison him and give an antidote at the same time." "If the man left her, he'd be minus his antidote" "The poison would take effect and he'd die." "Like a victim of a spell." "So I'm going to die." "No... because," "Carole is letting you go." "Everyone has problems in love." "They pass!" "I had them go..." "I was young..." "It ended badly." "Look." "A dagger did that..." "Here, feel!" "Feel!" "Ruined my kidney..." "I kid you not." "I was dodging bullets, too." "This is for you." "If you want a promotion," "I'll put in a word for you." "You make me sick." "I make you sick?" "I used to feel that way..." "it doesn't last" "Don't be a fool!" "It's loaded, you know." "You scared me..." "Careful, that's dangerous!" "Open, damn!" "Open up or Ill shoot!" "Hopeless!" "Hopeless!" "You're hopeless!" "Forget it, it's all there..." "Lock him up!" "You gambled and lost." "Farewell, ma Caro." "The strike's over, train at 20:10..." "Goodbye, Sis!" "In each man there's a killer..." "mine never been aroused." "But I was ready to start a war to get Carol back." "Oh, damn!" "I have to pee!" "You again?" "Son of a bitch!" "Bastard!" "Watch your language!" "I'm your elder..." "Come on, get up!" "It's not easy to kill a man." "Veins." "To the port...!" "The ship's name was a good omen." "Free of those schemers wecouldfinallybehappy." "The money was gone, but, Carol didn't seem to mind any more." "How will we live?" "Debauchery is a disease..." "You've been infected." "Oh no!" "She had played her hand well." "You're in the family now." "Off to Eden with the Queen of Tarts and her 3rd-rate knave..." "But my new fatalism and their silly clothes removed the sting." "Your cabin's on this deck?" "How amusing... so is ours." "My apartment in Paris, my books, my wife ... were barely remembered." "I was far away... a cosmonaut orbiting in Carol's love." "The future wasn't bright but" "I'descapedsomethingworse..." "Never knowing happiness." "Two years later, on a street in Zanzibar ...Serge and Carol ran into a ragged but happy man..." "It was Senor Martinez..."
