Jean-Loup Cottins : This is Arlette Guillaume, our set and costume designer. Bernard Granger. He'll play Carl. You must have seen him on stage.
Arlette Guillaume : I don't think so. Wait. Yes, now I recall it.
Jean-Loup Cottins : At the Grand Guignol?
Arlette Guillaume : No, it was in something more ordinary. He played a man cruising the streets.

Arlette Guillaume : Yet, I could have sworn you knew this role by heart.
