Terry Yordan: It's easy to encompass everything in one idea. His idleness. His cowardice.
Juan's Sister: Everything's threatened - the world. Everything! Everything! And nothing can be done.
Jean-Marc: It's one of those things where you work for art without being paid.
Laurence: Are you mad at Gérard? You are, don't deny it. I went through it too - being indispensable, then treated as a prop.
Pierre Goupil: I'm a realist. I have no illusions. There are no heroes and no saints.
Gerard Lenz: Why stand like a post? Poetry is movement, moving forward. I want you to seem to be surging forward. Try again.
Philip Kaufman: Do you still want the truth? The truth is that it's not important.
Connaissance de Juan au café: That's all I know and that's all I want to know.
Tania Fedin: Who sent you The lamb or the dragon?
Tania Fedin: We die because we are life. All must perish.
Tania Fedin: Afraid? I know how it is. Courage drains from us, like water from a hand.
Tania Fedin: If the body is upright, so is the soul.
Monsieur Boileau: Audition all dwarfs in Paris. Nothing below a meter. I know you might not find them. We could use kids with beards.
Tania Fedin: Nothing can be done. Await a sign. Await his return. Be patient.
Gerard Lenz: I called Terry. She's cut herself off. She won't see anyone. She talked in riddles: "I am unworthy of you, you are unworthy of me."
Anne Goupil: He left. Perhaps I was wrong. It was my pride. His too. I'm no saint.
Terry Yordan: It's all your fault. You sought the sublime. Poor fool.

Bernard: You drink too much, but that's not what I want to tell you. You must understand our problems. You're not in Greenwich Village now. I'm speaking as a friend, a comrade. I think a change of scenery would help. It may be that we're bad for you. Philip Kaufman: Where will I sleep? Bernard: You don't have to go tonight. I'm not throwing you out, a man of your caliber, but try to understand. I can't keep you here forever. What will people say? Philip Kaufman: Understood. I"ll go and pack my toothbrush.
Jean-Marc: It's got nothing on Shakespeare. Anne Goupil: Oh, we'll talk about Shakespeare after my exams.
Jean-Marc: Do you know 'Pericles'? Anne Goupil: Yes. Jean-Marc: What do you think? Anne Goupil: It's very good. Jean-Marc: Really? Anne Goupil: Yes. Jean-Marc: Some good scenes, but it's hit-and-miss. It's wasn't Shakespeare's work. Anyway it'll be a flop.
Pierre Goupil: They have their ideas, I have mine. Anne Goupil: And I'm the girl with no opinions.
Gerard Lenz: I think he was wrong with the knife. I'd rather slash my wrists. I did it once. Terry Yordan: It always fails. That's why you chose it. Gerard Lenz: It fails until it succeeds. It calls for perseverance.
Anne Goupil: Why have you talked to me? Philip Kaufman: Why? Never seek to know why. Beware of Terry. Beware of me. Forget all I've said, if you can. If not, forgive me.
Philip Kaufman: Don't try to understand. Some secrets few men can bear. Juan couldn't. I fear Gérard can't. Gérard's threatened. He doesn't know it, but I don't give him two months. Anne Goupil: That's not true. Philip Kaufman: All right, it's not true then.
Philip Kaufman: I want to tell you that the world isn't what it seems. No, listen to me. Some people have guessed what I'm going to say, but I *know* it. It's the whole world that's threatened yet doesn't know it. It's all nothing but appearances. Those we think powerful are puppets. The real masters rule in secret. Anne Goupil: Who are they? Philip Kaufman: They have no names. I speak in riddles, but some things can only be told in riddles.
Philip Kaufman: You've made the rounds. Anne Goupil: What do you mean? Philip Kaufman: Don't act surprised. I don't believe in coincidences.
Philip Kaufman: What do you talk about? Anne Goupil: About everything and nothing. We don't always agree, but that's natural.
Gerard Lenz: Do you know 'Pericles'? Anne Goupil: Yes. Gerard Lenz: What do you think? Anne Goupil: Is this a test? Gerard Lenz: No, I'd like your opinion. Anne Goupil: Okay. It's rather disconnected. Gerard Lenz: Right. And? Anne Goupil: But that doesn't matter. Gerard Lenz: Why not? Anne Goupil: Because it's on another level. Is that the right answer? Gerard Lenz: A plus. Gerard Lenz: Everyone says I'm crazy, even Terry, but the reason I want to stage it is because it's "unplayable." But I don't care. It's shreds and patches, yet it hangs together overall. Pericles may traverse kingdoms, the heroes are dispersed, yet they can't escape. They're all reunited in Act V. I want to show that. Do you think I'm crazy? Anne Goupil: No. Not at all. Gerard Lenz: Thanks. But we must try to make people understand it. It shows a chaotic but not absurd world, rather like our own, flying off in all directions, but with a purpose. Only we don't know what. Am I boring you? Anne Goupil: No. I agree. The world is less absurd than it seems.
Laurence: You're wasting your time with Terry. She'll never tell you anything. Anne Goupil: I know. Laurence: Terry acts mysterious. That's how she keeps Gérard.
De Georges: How's Gérard getting along? Anne Goupil: Not too well. De Georges: I admire the naïveté and enthusiasm of youth. Perhaps it will all work out.
Gerard Lenz: What do you envisage? Jean-Val - L'assistant de Gérard: Towers, ramparts, severed heads. Gerard Lenz: Why? Jean-Val - L'assistant de Gérard: To give the audience the illusion. Gerard Lenz: But theater is not illusion, it's reality.
Gerard Lenz: And what are your thoughts? Jean-Val - L'assistant de Gérard: The usual: comfort, good whiskey. Theater actor: Beautiful girls. Jean-Val - L'assistant de Gérard: Obviously. Well, what more do you want?
Pierre Goupil: What were you doing around here? Anne Goupil: Out for a walk? Pierre Goupil: With that floozy? Give me her address.
Anne Goupil: I can't wait. I give up. Tania Fedin: Patience is difficult. Yes, child, waiting is difficult.
Terry Yordan: It's all your fault. You sought the sublime. Poor fool.
