Marion Steiner
- Marion Steiner: It takes two to love, as it takes two to hate. And I will keep loving you, in spite of yourself. My heart beats faster when I think of you. Nothing else matters.
- Daxiat: This may sound strange coming from me, but I think your husband, Lucas Steiner, was wrong to leave France. The new anti-Israelite theater laws apply to spectators and profiteers. But your husband, Mme. Steiner, was a gem. He was the only Israelite theater director...
- Marion Steiner: You may say 'Jewish'.
- Daxiat: Yes. He was the only one to be a leader, stage director and an artist. You see, the Germans are deeply attached to culture. They don't want talented artists to leave France.
- Bernard Granger: [during the stage play] You are beautiful, Helena. So beautiful it hurts to look at you.
- Marion Steiner: Yesterday, you said it was a joy.
- Bernard Granger: It is a joy, but it hurts.
- Marion Steiner: He liked the Grand Guignol. But he's very happy to be with us. He's a little like Jean Gabin in "La Bête Humaine." Very physical and yet quite gentle.
- Marion Steiner: I'm simply exhausted.
- Lucas Steiner: So make yourself comfortable.
- Marion Steiner: No, I want to sleep at home, at the hotel. I'll go home.
- Lucas Steiner: So you're deserting the conjugal cave?
- Lucas Steiner: Do you remember, Marion? Remember?
- Marion Steiner: Remember what?
- Lucas Steiner: The elevator in that department store.
- Marion Steiner: Yes, I remember. I had the feeling everybody knew what we were doing. I was terrified.
- Lucas Steiner: You were only terrified?
- Marion Steiner: No, not only terrified.
