yours. (Jacques nods negatively) Right." (Enzo walks away with his group)

"He looks strange doesn't he? Like a baby who's just learned to walk. (...)
What is it Johanne? You're so crazy about him you don't see the truth. Don't think of Jacques as a human being. He's
from another world." (Enzo)

"As I was
telling you earlier, I'm the world champion free-diver. Some
people say, the most virile sport in the world. I have to
admit that when you see those men diving head first in that
deep blue sea, all muscles contracted in one superhuman
effort." (Enzo)
"Enzo?" (Jacques)
"What?" (Enzo)
"Mama?" (Jacques)
"Dove? Oh, she'll kill me if she catches me eating pasta in a restaurant!" (Enzo) |

"Today, at lunch, you asked me if I had any questions." (Jacques)
"Ah! You finally want to know about women." (Enzo)

"No. It depends. Sometime they are. What exactly do you want to know?" (Enzo)
"Everything." (Jacques)
"Everything about what?" (Enzo)
"About everything." (Jacques)
"Mama mia! (...) That's what love is all about. It's a pain
in the ass, but it keeps us together. Beautiful." (Enzo)
