Quotes 

• Henri : In my life, I have loved and been loved. Now, I'm sick of it. I want to rest. No more undying passion. Marion irritates me.

  Sylvain : So then don't chase after her!

  Henri : I'm not chasing after her, she's after me! It's hard to pass up a girl like that.

  Sylvain : So you don't give a damn about her.

  Henri : No. I like her. I'm even fond of her. But I don't like making people cry. See, I'm really too nice. It gets me in some real messes.

• Sylvain : Big assholes like you don't keep me awake at night.

  Pierre : Then go to sleep!

• Sylvain : Did you think I'd come?

  Pauline : What about you?

  Sylvain : I knew you came here.

  Pauline : You came because of me?

  Sylvain : I don't usually go six miles just to take a swim.

• Pauline : You could be coming for Marion.

  Sylvain : You're crazy.

  Pauline : I know you like her.

  Sylvain : Well, sort of, but she's not really my type. I really like - a more natural type.

• Pauline : She's married, but her husband's not around. She's getting divorced soon, so here's your chance.

  Sylvain : That chick isn't for me.

• Sylvain : You got a boyfriend?

  Pauline : Tons!

  Sylvain : Got room for maybe one more?

  Pauline : It certainly wouldn't be you.

  Sylvain : I didn't say I was applying.

  Pauline : Hands off. I don't like being touched.

  Sylvain : What about your boyfriends?

  Pauline : They wouldn't dare.

  Sylvain : So, then, they're *not* your boyfriends.

• Sylvain : I really don't get you! You have this really super chick, but you go hook up with that clown.

  Henri : Well, you see, I'm not prejudiced. That "clown" is a real turn-on.

  Sylvain : Yeah, an old guy like you would think so.
