    Madeleine: What will I do?

    Guy Foucher: You'll help me. I'll be lonely.

    Madeleine: You don't need anyone.

    Guy Foucher: I need you, Madeleine.

    Guy Foucher: That's not true.

    Madeleine: I don't like what you've become. You hang around with nothing to do. You're sad and bitter.
