Jeanne

I fell in love with him when I first heard him play piano.

Paul

You mean the first time he got inside your knickers.

Jeanne

He was a child prodigy; he was playing with both hands.

Paul

I bet he was!

Jeanne

Why do you hate women?

Paul

Because either they always pretend to know who I am, or they pretend I don't know who they are, and that's very boring.

Jeanne

Let's drink a toast to our life in the hotel.

Paul

No **** all that! Hey listen! Let's drink a toast to our life in the country.

Jeanne

You're a nature lover? You didn't tell me that.

Paul

Oh, for Christ's sake... I'm nature boy. Can't you see me with the cows and the chickenshit all over me? Huh?

Jeanne

Oh, that's right. To the cows!

Paul

Cow.

Jeanne

I will be your cow too.

Paul

I get to milk you twice a day. How about that?

Jeanne

What are we doing here?

Paul

Let's just say we're taking a flying **** at a rolling donut.

Paul

You ran through Africa and Asia and Indonesia, and now I found you... and I love you. I want to know your name.

Jeanne

Jeanne. [she shoots him]
