Quotes 

• The Girl : Instead of flirting, telling me I have aristocratic ears and adorable breasts, the guy next to me kept talking about his car, praising its qualities in a voice that contrasted artistically with the sound of the wind against the hood.

  The Young Man : Ford Taunus is the queen.

  The Girl : I thought, "403, Chrysler, Maserati, Lotus, sure. But not Ford Taunus." Not because it's German. I love Germans: Hölderlin, Max and Morris, Wagner, but not the Taunus.

• The Girl : Baudelaire is the ideal poet.

  The Young Man : He's the one who said...

  The Girl : "The misty sunlight, Of those cloudy skies, Has for my spirit the charms, So mysterious, Of your treacherous eyes, Shining brightly through their tears." What can you say after that?

  The Young Man : Be quiet.

  The Girl : Okay, I'll be quiet.
