- Julia: Since you seem so good at experiments, how would you like to do one with me? Two days, together, here?
- Valerion: Well, if you have ten days, why did you only ask me for two?
- Julia: Because, then it's up to you to ask me for the rest. I can't expect you to stay if you become bored with me, in a day or two.
- Valerion: You mean, it's up to me?
- Julia: Yes, of course. That way, you see, you can take me out, on loan. If you like.
- Valerion: I like.
- Valerion: I don't even know myself how, why, I presume to speak to you. I don't have a good excuse; but, for two hours now, I have been watching you. Look, I'm not a playboy. I don't even know - how - I'm just an engineer.
- Julia: There are times in life when nothing is important and everything is important - and the simplest things can be the most confusing.
- Julia: Promise me something.
- Valerion: What?
- Julia: That for the days we're up here you'll always tell me the truth. Straight and honest.
- Valerion: Okay, I promise.
- Julia: I mean it! Night and day, the whole truth, criticizes me, hour by hour, anything you don't like. The way I speak. They way I move or sit. Anything. Just tell me and I'll change it. I want to change - for you.
- Valerion: It's impossible. I can't make you ugly. You Americans! The more you paint up, the better you are. You are still Indians. You never change.
- Julia: Don't look at me! I can't take any more sad eyes! Everyone always gets those sad, good eyes. Your's weren't! Your's were honest. Now, they're like all the others!
