Will Francis: Hi. I'm sorry.
Liv: You smell of perfume.
Will Francis: Well, I don't know how I do.
Liv: Nor do I.
Will Francis: I love you.
Liv: Is that an answer?
Will Francis: It's the truth. I feel as if I'm tapping on a window. You're somewhere behind the glass but you can't hear me. Even when you're angry, like now, it's like someone a long long way away is angry with me.

Miro: Did my dad just not want to come with us?
Amira: Eh... He... eh... He love you, but he was engineer. He was needed. Every bridge was blown up, so, anyway... It's more complicated. No story from Sarajevo is simple.

Orit: Bea? My car keys. Where's the battery? Bea. Hey, I need the battery. Don't... We're human. Don't punish us. We get fed up.
Orit: Fed up? Is that about the diet?
Will Francis: No, it means "upset". I don't know why. It's a metaphor. Remember, we spoke about those. "Cried your eyes out" doesn't mean your eyeballs fall out. Metaphors. Fed up. It's nothing to do with food. Where's my battery, Bea?

Liv: [Takes his hand and bites his skin]
Will Francis: Yeah, but that's just teeth.
