Clive Owen: Ray Koval

Duplicity

Ray Koval

Ray Koval: I think about you all the time. I think about you even when you're with me. I look at you, I can't stop looking at you. I look at you, and I think, "That woman... That woman knows who I am and loves me anyway."

Claire Stenwick: How do I know you?
Ray Koval: How do you know me? Wow! That's a strong play. Believe me, I spent a lot of time thinking what this would be like. Where it'd be, what I'd say, what you'd say, but I never thought it...
Claire Stenwick: I'm sorry, I just...
Ray Koval: You really wanna go this way?
Claire Stenwick: Look you clearly have me confused with someone else.
Ray Koval: I don't know. I'm not great on names. I should be. I try. Faces I'm definitely better. I'm like a B, B-. Where I'm good, where I really excel, people I have slept with. That's been a traditional area of strength of me.

Ray Koval: [referring to the thong Claire found in his wardrobe] I've been loyal to you. The only woman who's been in this apartment is the landlady and she couldn't wear that thing as a wristband.

Claire Stenwick: If I told you I loved you, would it make any difference?
Ray Koval: If you told me or if I believed you?
Claire Stenwick: I love you. I really do. I don't know why you would believe me. I don't know why we'd believe anything anymore. I just keep having this fantasy that we suddenly snap out of it, that we come out of this and be like people are supposed to be, like, trusting and honest.
Ray Koval: We're not like other people.
Claire Stenwick: I know that. Don't you think I know that? Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to know that you are the only man who could ever possibly understand me? Look, I know who you are. And I love you anyway.

Ray Koval: This wasn't an accident, was it? Being here. Meeting like this. You came looking for me, didn't you?
Claire Stenwick: You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Ray Koval: I'm right, though, aren't I?
Claire Stenwick: Because you went looking for me, right?
Ray Koval: But why? Just for this?
Claire Stenwick: Isn't that enough?
Ray Koval: Not for you.

Ray Koval: Look, I'm sorry. I don't know if it's the knee or something, but I'm a little confused. I thought we were checking each other out.
Claire Stenwick: No. Sorry. Maybe you're drunk
Ray Koval: No, no, no. If I was drunk, I'd be coming on to you.
Claire Stenwick: That's a relief.
Ray Koval: If I was drunk I'd be saying how amazing you look and how crazy it is that you're standing here on your own.
Claire Stenwick: Wow. Are you always like this?
Ray Koval: No. I sometimes sound like this, but this is definitely different.
Claire Stenwick: What's so different?
Ray Koval: I don't know. I guess that's what I came over to find out.

Ray Koval: Remember me?
Claire Stenwick: Sure. Of course, we...
Ray Koval: Long time, huh?
Claire Stenwick: I... yes
Ray Koval: Gotcha
Claire Stenwick: I'm sorry I just...
Ray Koval: Just what?
Claire Stenwick: I'm drawing a blank
Ray Koval: Nice try
Claire Stenwick: Excuse me?
Ray Koval: A little professional courtesy would make this a lot less awkward.
Claire Stenwick: How do I know you?
Ray Koval: Wow! That's tough. That's a strong play. Believe me I've spent a lot of time thinking what this would be like, where we'd be, what I'd say, what you'd say. But I'd never thought you'd...
Claire Stenwick: I'm terribly sorry but...
Ray Koval: You really want to go this way?
