Quotes 

• Lucienne : I wish it wasn't vintage time. And, then, I'm glad it is! How can I be both?

  Léone Morel : You'd better try on your dress. And you can be both. That's what makes us human beings. We're both of everything.

• Lucienne : There is something strange about the vintage this year.

• Lucienne : I'll stay a little while. It's bad for you to be alone.

  Giancarlo Barandero : It's better for you to go.

• Giancarlo Barandero : You were wrong coming here tonight.

  Lucienne : With you, nothing could be wrong.

• Lucienne : Do you think I'm ugly?

  Giancarlo Barandero : No.

  Lucienne : Do you think I'm too thin?

  Giancarlo Barandero : No.

  Lucienne : I'm so glad. I want to be what you like.

• Giancarlo Barandero : Listen to me. You think you love me because I'm a stranger. Because, it's the vintage - and your heart is looking for love. Because its time for you to love somebody. You think you don't love Etienne, because he's a part of your everyday. You think, perhaps, I'm different.

  Lucienne : You are!

  Giancarlo Barandero : I, too, have my everyday.

• Lucienne : What made me stand up to Louis like that?

  Léone Morel : That's what the vintage does.

  Lucienne : But, it's more than Louis - and more than the vintage. For something wonderful has happened to me. I feel like - for the first time - I'm discovering people - things. I feel like I have a new skin.

• Giancarlo Barandero : You got your dress dirty.

  Lucienne : Do you like it?

  Giancarlo Barandero : Yes.

• Lucienne : I'm going to make him dance with me and dance with me - and dance, dance, dance, dance - with me!

• Lucienne : Did the vintage make you crazy? All of you?

• Lucienne : I'm no slave! I can marry who I please.

• Giancarlo Barandero : I have nothing to give you. No roots, no job, no home.

  Lucienne : I have a dowry. A vineyard. It's not really a vineyard. It's a piece of land. But, something could come of it. It's on the other side of the hill.

• Lucienne : Hey, you know, when you get old, I will still love you. But, you don't have to love me when I get old.
