Romain: In my dreams I'll sleep with anyone. My father, my mother... even myself as a kid. Guess I'm trying to do it all before dying.
Laura: Tonight I'd like to slip away with you.
[Romain's mother expresses her interest in Romain taking photographs of the family]

Sophie: Save you breath, Mom. We're not hip enough. He prefers actresses and models.

La mère: Don't say that. He just hasn't had time yet.

Le père: Of course.

Romain: No, she's right.

La mère: Why do you say that?

Romain: I don't want to photograph her kids.

Le père: Romaine, stop.

Sophie: Leave it, Dad.

Romain: And you know why? Because they sprang from you, and your ugly mug would be in the picture. It makes me want to puke.

La mère: Romaine, stop it!

Romain: No wonder your man left. It's like you made the kids alone.
Le père: How are things with Sasha?

Romain: Not bad, not great. We'll probably break up soon.

Le père: Shit. Why?

Romain: Like in all couples, routine kills desire.
Romain: You don't love me anymore.

Sasha: I don't know.

Romain: I don't love you anymore either.

Sasha: Don't play with me.
Laura: So, who have you told?

Romain: No one. Just you.

Laura: Friends? Colleagues?

Romain: Nobody at all. I told them I needed a vacation.

Laura: What about your sister?

Romain: You're crazy. No way.
[Romain has told no one else of his terminal condition]

Laura: So why did you tell me?

Romain: Because you're like me. You'll be dying soon.
Laura: After your grandfather died, I was devastated. I thought I was going to die, so I left. I ran away. I abandoned my child, your father. I couldn't take care of him anymore. I'd see Jacques in his smile, in his eyes. They called me a bad mother, a whore even. Your father never forgave me, but I know I was right. If I hadn't left, if I hadn't had all those lovers, I would have died too. You can call it selfish, but it was a survival instinct.
Laura: What's the matter? Can't you sleep?

Romain: No, impossible.

Laura: Want to talk?

Romain: No, just sleep with you.

Laura: You know I sleep naked.

Romain: That's okay. I won't look.
Romain: Just once. One last time.

Sasha: What's the point?

Romain: Funny you should say that. I keep saying it to myself lately.

After watching other gay movies, I feel sad. Why do other friends have love? After watching this one, I feel so comforted. I go shopping alone, make pasta alone, go to see grandma, go to a nightclub, and 3P. One goes to church, one goes to the beach, one swims, and one waits to die. It is a pity that only the sudden imminent death can let go of all the fetters of others and return to the childhood self. The hero Yan Wan wins everything.

4.5 Ou Rong never makes a noise. This is where he is 700 times stronger than Dolan. Melvil Poupaud is a ten-year-old child in an alien pirate city, and an ignorant young man in Rohmer's summer story. During Ou Rong's time, he relived the past and moved forward alone. Movies are short, life is short, and the glory of an actor is short-lived, but the memory is always there. "We all think you're handsome"
