| Quotes |
Sylvain Dielman:
[Referring to his dead father]
If he was ugly, did you want to make love with him? Jeanne Dielman: Ugly or not, it wasn't all that important. Besides, "making love" as you call it, is merely a detail. And I had you. And he wasn't as ugly as all that. Sylvain Dielman: Would you want to remarry? Jeanne Dielman: No. Get used to someone else? Sylvain Dielman: I mean someone you love. Jeanne Dielman: Oh, you know... Sylvain Dielman: Well, if I were a woman, I could never make love with someone I wasn't deeply in love with. Jeanne Dielman: How could you know? You're not a woman. Lights out? See more » |
