Quotes 

• Susanne Verin : You're a beast! Spoilt, brutal, cynical. A gynecologist who knows nothing about women!

• David Erneman : No disturbing symptoms. But I'd better examine you. Please get undressed.

  Susanne Verin : Do you think I'm pretty?

• Susanne Verin : What's it like to see women undressing all day? I'm so scared. You'll be nice to me?

  David Erneman : Get undressed, others are waiting.

• Susanne Verin : It's delicious when you scold me!

• David Erneman : If I were to have an affair with you what a terrible chain reaction there would be.

  Susanne Verin : Nobody need know.

  David Erneman : I prefer my simple life with its small joys and cares, my slippers by the quiet fire, to your perfumed body and devouring flame that sweeps over home, children, decency and leads to nothing at all. Go now, Susanne. Leave me in peace.

  Susanne Verin : You love me.

  David Erneman : No. But I desire you. I want your fire to burn away my dull apathy and the waste heap of grey monotony. Is that absurd and silly?

  Susanne Verin : Don't talk. Kiss me.

• Susanne Verin : Infidelity is an invention of moralists and gossips.
