Blonde woman
Couldn't you give us just a couple of minutes?
Thomas Couple of minutes? I haven't even got a couple of minutes to have my appendix out.
What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it! Give me those pictures. You can't photograph people like that.
Thomas Who says I can't? I'm only doing my job. Some people are bullfighters, some people are politicians. I'm a photographer.
This is a public place — everyone has the right to be left in peace.
Thomas It's not my fault if there's no peace. You know, most girls would pay me to photograph them.
I'll pay you.
Thomas I overcharge. There are other things I want on the reel.
Thomas Don't let's spoil everything, we've only just met.
No, we haven't met — you've never seen me.
Thomas Why are you selling?
Shop-owner
I'd like to try something different — get off some somewhere. I'm fed up with antiques.
Thomas Get off where?
Shop-owner
To Nepal.
Thomas Nepal is all antiques.
Shop-owner
Is it? Perhaps I better try … Morocco.
Thomas I'm fed up with those bloody bitches. I wish I had tons of money. Then I'd be free.
Ron
Free to do what?
My private life's already a mess. It would be a disaster if…
Thomas So what? Nothing like a little disaster for sorting things out.
Thomas [after handing Jane the phone]: It's my wife.
Thomas Sorry love, the bird I'm with won't talk to you. [hangs up the phone, and walks around the room] … She isn't my wife, really. We just have some kids. … No, no kids, not even kids. Sometimes, though, it feels as if we had kids. … She isn't beautiful, she's... easy to live with. … No, she isn't. … That's why I don't live with her. … But even with beautiful girls, you look at them and that's that.
Thomas What's your name? Oh, forget it — what's the use of a name? What do you they call you in bed?
Brunette woman
I only go to bed to sleep.
Thomas [seeing Verushka at a London party]
I thought you were supposed to be in Paris.
Verushka
I am in Paris.
Ron
What did you see in that park?
Thomas Nothing.
