- Death: He said that you stopped him for no reason.
- Kenji: No reason? No, I saw him in my dreams. And you... Who are you?
- Death: I... I am...
- Young Arab: Chukhram.
- Death: He also wants to thank you.
- Kenji: Thank me? For what?
- Death: He's been running all his life. He must have been tired. We must go.
- Kenji: Wait wait wait. I don't get it, okay?
- Death: [smirking] How do you want me to disappear?
- Kenji: What?
- Death: Never mind. I'll see you.
- [gives Kenji a kiss on the cheek]
- Kenji: [about the book by Balzac] What's it about?
- Balzac Man: A young man, ambitious, goes to Paris, try to make it there. But why do you ask me what it's about when I'm in the midst of reading it?
- Kenji: Oh, yeah, right. It's just like watching movie; while you're watching it you cannot tell yet.
- Balzac Man: Just like life itself. You can't know about it until you've lived it all.
- Fabrizio: Just like hard-on, you know. You don't know what it feel like until you had one.
- Balzac Man: That's irrelevant.
- Kenji: What does a hard-on have to do with Balzac?
- Fabrizio: Balzac - French, you know.
- White Soldier: You okay, madame?
- Death: Me?
- White Soldier: Something bothering you?
- Death: You know why I like young people?
- White Soldier: Because they're young?
- Death: Because it's such a challenge. There's such a strong will to resist me. I mean some of them pretend I don't even exist for them. So I wait patiently for time to pass. Usually they give in and embrace me.
- White Soldier: Unless there's a war or a plague or something.
- Death: Exactly. Still I feel heartbroken taking away the young ones. I mean, they make such beautiful plans for their lives you know? They're always asking me, who gets to decide who stays longer and who has to go, but... that's not my business.
- White Soldier: Wow... touching. You're not the heartless bitch I thought you were.
- Death: Don't even think of trying to escape me, that is a game you will never win. So just enjoy it while you can. I didn't have to do this. I mean I could have just have come tonight to pick you up, nine pm, and you would have been really sorry for yourself because you wouldn't be able to do anything. By telling you now it's as though I've given you 12 free hours. So go out and live a little. Do whatever you've always wanted to do, because it's not gonna come back.
- [kisses Kenji on the lips]
- Death: I'll see you tonight.
- Kenji: Shame on you.
- John Sage: Excuse me?
- Kenji: Aren't you ashamed of seducing such a young woman? Behave, like an old man.
- John Sage: Do I look like an old man?
- Kenji: Ofcourse! You don't think you're still a teenager, do you?
- John Sage: No, not for some time.
- Kenji: So, find someone your age.
- John Sage: Young man, I know all this seems a little absurd to you. When I was your age, I felt the same way. But when you're a little older, you'll understand.
- Kenji: [laughs] I'm glad I won't have to.
- [sits down at the table]
- Kenji: You should let her go, she doesn't belong to you. That young lady needs to meet guys of her age.
- John Sage: You wanna meet her, is that right?
- Kenji: No, not me. I'm dying tonight.
- John Sage: Excuse me?
- Kenji: Don't worry, I'm not comitting suicide. I just found out that I'm going to die tonight. That's all.
- John Sage: How are you gonna die?
- Kenji: Um, she didn't tell me that part, so...
- John Sage: She?
- Kenji: Death. Well, she showed up this morning and told me that I'm going to die tonight, so she hopes that I can do whatever I want. Isn't that nice?
- John Sage: Well, aren't you gonna fight her?
- Kenji: What for? I'm not a fool. Would you?
- John Sage: I'd like you to come to my place tonight. Anouk and I are hosting a small dinner party and we'd like you to be there. I'll give you the adress. I think it should be fun, if you have nothing better to do. There'll be girls there. Your age.
- Kenji: Oh, thank you for your invitation, but what's the use?
- John Sage: Well, you say you're gonna die tonight. Don't you think you should live life to the last minute? The last second?
- Kenji: Mr. Sage, if you want, you can fuck me. Why not? Let's all get fucked!
- John Sage: I think you better leave.
- Kenji: Yeah, sure. This is your place and you're being a wonderful host and I should be grateful, shouldn't I? But I'm acting like an asshole! I know that. What do you want from me, though? Why did you invite me here? Why did you invite a guy who says he's going to die? And you!
- [turns to Anouk]
- Kenji: Why do you pretend you don't remember me? Didn't we kiss? Didn't we enjoy it? Why do you deny it?
- John Sage: What's he talking about?
- Kenji: Mr. Sage, I'm sorry, I know you don't like the truth but I saw Anouk at the gallery this morning before I met you and we kissed in front of your big paintings.
