A line from Théo [Reading]

. A revolution isn't a gala dinner. It cannot be created like a book, a drawing or a tapestry. It cannot unfold with such elegance, tranquility and delicacy. Or such sweetness, affability. Courtesy, restraint and generosity. A revolution is an uprising, a violent act by which one class overthrows another.

Has he never been inside of you?

He's always inside of me.

Father

Listen to me, Théo. Before you can change the world you must realize that you, yourself, are part of it. You can't stand outside looking in.

Poets don't sign petitions. They sign poems.

Théo

A petition is a poem.

Father

Yes! And a poem is a petition...

Théo

A petition is a poem, a poem is a petition. Those are the most famous lines you ever wrote. And now look at you.

I thought you had many lovers. I mean when I saw you for the first time, at the Cinématheque, you and Theo, you looked so cool, so sophisticated. Like a movie star.

I was. I was acting, Matthew.

Théo, Théo. Wake up.

Théo

What is it?

I want you to listen.

Théo

Why?

Because. Théo?

Théo

Mm?

I love you. You know that?

Théo

I love you too.

You love me too? That's funny. Are you listening? It's forever, right?

Théo

What's forever?

The two of us. Right?

Théo

Yes. Why did Matthew say that?

What did Matthew say?

Théo

That we're monsters, freaks.

I just want you to tell me that it's forever. It's forever.
