  • Heurtebise: I am letting you into the secret of all secrets, mirrors are gates through which death comes and goes. Moreover if you see your whole life in a mirror you will see death at work as you see bees behind the glass in a hive.
  • Heurtebise: You don't have to understand. You just have to believe.
  • Heurtebise: I admire you, Orphée. I could have listened a thousand times and not paid the slightest attention.
  • Orphée: Where could they be coming from, Heurtebise? They're on no other station. I'm certain they're meant for me.
  • Eurydice: Orphée, nothing matters but this car. I could die and you wouldn't even notice.
  • Orphée: We were dead and we didn't notice.

  • Heurtebise: That's exactly why I ask if you have orders.
  • The Princess - Death: You dare to ask?
  • Heurtebise: If you had orders, your butchers would have completed their task.
  • Heurtebise: I am proud to no longer be alive.
  • Heurtebise: Beware of the Sirens!
  • Orphée: It is *I* who charm *them*.
  • Eurydice: Orphée was horrible.
  • Heurtebise: No, he's a genius and every genius has his moods.
  • Heurtebise: There's nothing more habit-forming than habit.
  • Heurtebise: Orphée, you know Death.
  • Orphée: I've spoken to her. I've dreamt of her. I've sung about her. I thought I knew her. But, I didn't know her.
  • Heurtebise: You think she doesn't suffer?
  • Orphée: You're wrong. Women adore complications.
