- Romain: In my dreams I'll sleep with anyone. My father, my mother... even myself as a kid. Guess I'm trying to do it all before dying.
- Laura: After your grandfather died, I was devastated. I thought I was going to die, so I left. I ran away. I abandoned my child, your father. I couldn't take care of him anymore. I'd see Jacques in his smile, in his eyes. They called me a bad mother, a whore even. Your father never forgave me, but I know I was right. If I hadn't left, if I hadn't had all those lovers, I would have died too. You can call it selfish, but it was a survival instinct.

- Sophie: Save you breath, Mom. We're not hip enough. He prefers actresses and models.
- La mère: Don't say that. He just hasn't had time yet.
- Le père: Of course.
- Romain: No, she's right.
- La mère: Why do you say that?
- Romain: I don't want to photograph her kids.
- Le père: Romaine, stop.
- Sophie: Leave it, Dad.
- Romain: And you know why? Because they sprang from you, and your ugly mug would be in the picture. It makes me want to puke.
- La mère: Romaine, stop it!
- Romain: No wonder your man left. It's like you made the kids alone.
