Heurtebise
- 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: 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.
- The Princess - Death: Are you in love with this idiot?
- Heurtebise: What if I am?
- The Princess - Death: You have no right to love in *any* world.
- Heurtebise: Nor do you.
- The Princess - Death: What?
- Heurtebise: You can't escape the rules.
- The Princess - Death: I order you to be quiet!
- Heurtebise: You're in love with Orphée and you don't know how to handle it.
- The Princess - Death: Shut up!
- Heurtebise: Do you have orders?
- The Princess - Death: What did you say?
- Heurtebise: I asked you if you had orders.
- The Princess - Death: When I carry out my orders, I expect mine to be carried out.
- 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: 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.
