Bérénice Marlohe: Arielle Pierpont

5 to 7

Arielle Pierpont

Arielle: Put aside your notions about how people are, Brian. The world will surprise you with its grace if you let it.

Arielle: Just so you know, you're a natural lover. Your body expresses beautifully what's in your heart.
Brian: I'm just going to write that down...

Brian: It's one of two things. Or possibly both.
Arielle: What is?
Brian: Either no one is immune to your charms, or the world really can surprise you with its grace.

Brian: So you're married?
Arielle: Of course, what did you think?
Brian: I thought you were *not* married.
Arielle: Why would you think that?
Brian: Why would I *not* think that? For one thing you don't wear a wedding ring.
Arielle: So American. You need a sign post for everything or you'll completely lose your way.

Arielle: [in wine shop] Okay, we'll start very simply. Taste, please, this glass. Is it white or red?
Brian: [blindfolded] Red.
Arielle: My God.
Brian: [removing his blindfold] Ah, really? You gotta be shitting me!
Arielle: You have the palate of a water buffalo. That is about to change. Replace the blindfold, please. Take a small piece of baguette to cleanse the palate.
Brian: [scene shifts to a bar] Okay. Please drink from this glass. Is it the Miller High Life, or the Guinness stout?
Arielle: The Miller High Life.
Brian: Oh boy.
Arielle: What?
[in French]
Arielle: Fuck!
Brian: We have a lot of work to do.
Arielle: I was sure it was Miller High Life.
Brian: Now please take a buffalo chicken wing to obliterate the palate.

Arielle: Always look the person in the eye when you touch glasses.
Brian: I know. 7 years of bad luck.
Arielle: Bad luck? That's the american version?
Brian: Yes. What's the french?
Arielle: 7 years of bad sex.
Brian: Good lord.
Arielle: I think that tells you everything you need to know about our two cultures.
Brian: Yes. Yours is very optimistic. I mean a lot of people after, like, year 5 of bad sex, they'd give up; but you guys really hang in there.

Arielle: [in her letter] I have never felt so alive... as when I am in your arms.

Arielle: A 5 to 7 relationship is a relationship outside of marriage.
Brian: Seriously, the french actually block out time for that?
Arielle: No.
Brian: 1 to 3 lunch, 3 to 5 conference call, 5 to 7 commit adultery.
Arielle: Look...
Brian: Do you set aside time to break other commandments? Do you covet at 9:30? Worship false idols from 10 to noon?

Arielle: [talking about her husband's lover] One Day, I will stand next to her at his funeral.
Brian: Is that gonna be anytime soon?

Brian: Arielle, you're older than I am, you're wiser I'm sure and you've seen much more of the world. And you're beautiful, and elegant, and smart, and funny, and interesting, and you feel like family which is wonderful.
Arielle: Are you seriously telling me that the "but" is coming at the end of this sentence?

Arielle: Can no american watch a film without popcorn?
Brian: That's right.
Arielle: Do you chomp popcorn when you read literature?
Brian: [nods side to side] I eat sunflower seeds and I spit the shells into a little cup.
