• Delphine : I sometimes find cards in the street.

  Beatrice in Paris : Often?

  Delphine : Sometimes, when I least expect it. I'm just walking along and I find a card. It always means something. Like on the way to my sister's, I found a queen of spades. The queen of spades is bad luck.

  Manuella in Paris : Yes.

  Delphine : Do you know the meanings?

  Manuella in Paris : Some of them.

  Delphine : I was attracted to it. What's more, the card was green. Which is weird because I had a friend who is a medium. He told me green would be my color of the year. It's strange because since then, and maybe I'm just noticing it now, I keep finding little green things. So on the way to my sister's I spotted a little green card, next to a green lamppost, and I was dressed in green.

  Manuella in Paris : Maybe you'll meet a little green man!

• Manuella in Paris : Listen, Delphine, you know it's all over with Jean-Pierre. Either you need to meet someone or you'll stay alone with your memories. Don't you want to meet someone?

  Delphine : Sure.

  Manuella in Paris : But are you just going to sit around waiting for Prince Charming?
