Charles
- Paul Thomas: Don't worry. You'll bounce back. You're just learning how to live. You have nothing to be ashamed of.
- Charles: Really?
- Paul Thomas: Charles, I envy you all the happy times ahead.
- Charles: Shut up. I've messed up everything.
- Paul Thomas: Not at all, you numbskull! A little time - that's all. A girl and an exam aren't the end of the world.
- Charles: I wish that's all it was.
- Le libraire: What would you like, then?
- Charles: I could be tempted by a Balzac.
- Le libraire: From the provinces, eh?
- Charles: Is it obvious?
- Le libraire: Not really, but reading Balzac at your age smacks of the provinces.
- Le libraire: You really do love books. Your eyes are full of the wonders you've read. But the world you're living in now is a very strange one.
- Charles: Perhaps, but it is the world.
- Le libraire: Yes, but it can be hard to take.
- Paul Thomas: [Paul interrupts a discussion between Charles and the Bookseller] Forgive me.
- Le libraire: Not at all. Your brother?
- Paul Thomas: My cousin.
- Le libraire: Same difference. Come again.
- Charles: Goodbye and thank you.
- La femme de ménage: Were you involved in this orgy, Mr. Charles?
- Paul Thomas: Yes, he dipped his toe in. Feeling alright?
- Charles: Yes.
- Paul Thomas: Some Alka-Seltzer - or cognac?
