Aurora, the novelist: Let me tell you something. Last year I wanted to test my charms on very young boys. The young generation is a complete unknown to me. Incomprehensible. A total mystery. I settled on the number five in one week.
Jerome: Five!
Aurora, the novelist: Actually, I had three. Very handsome, all of them.
Jerome: Did you enjoy it, apart from the glory of conquest?
Aurora, the novelist: It was very nice. I could have gone on. But since it was a matter of ego, and ego is quickly satisfied, at least, in this area, I prefer to wait. I know how to wait. Waiting is pleasant in and of itself.

Aurora, the novelist: She disturbs you? How? Her body?
Jerome: Yes, the way she looks, since it's all I know about her. We've hardly ever spoken. I find it quite difficult to talk to her.
Aurora, the novelist: Well, well. She intimidates you.
Jerome: I feel absolutely powerless around girls like that.
