Renee: You remember Henriette?
Séverine Serizy: Yes, very well.
Renee: It seems - she's turning tricks.
Séverine Serizy: What?
Renee: In one of those houses. They say she's there several days a week. Can you believe it? Henriette! Of course, that's all so far from your world. But, can you imagine? A woman like you or me? Can you see her going with just anybody? In those places you don't get to choose. Old or not, lousy looking or not. Even with a man you love it can be unpleasant.
