| Quotes |
Ludovic Fabre:
I'm a girlboy. Jérôme: A girlboy? Ludovic Fabre: To make a baby, parents play tic-tac-toe. When one wins, God sends Xs and Ys. XX for a girl, and XY for a boy. But my X for a girl fell in the trash, and I got a Y instead. See? A scientific error! But God will fix it and send me an X and make me a girl and then we'll get married, okay? Jérôme: That will depend on what kind of girl you are. See more » |
