Excerpt from "Bad Blood"

Some of the lines are really well written, the French are so strong in love, and Ninoche and Delpy are so dreamy and beautiful!

1. Liz, my little Liz. I'm leaving. Go to the beach first, who knows after that. Because sometimes pulling one hair can move the whole body, and once one thing is solved, everything will be solved. I know it's a crime, I'm the murderer, and you're my warm pistol, left at the crime scene. I hope the fingerprints I leave on you will disappear, and I know that youth will preserve your ignorance of the world. This is a good thing. I walked without leaving a trace. Liz, don't think "time heals everything", take the initiative, hurry, hurry, forget me as fast as you can, and go to bed with boys and men. I can't forget the first picture you sent me, your most beautiful one, with the sentence, "When a girl spreads her legs, her secrets fly like butterflies". Make love must wear a condom. Listen Liz, I won't see you or touch you again until my fingerprints are gone. Forget....forget me. Have a good time. Kiss you, Liz. Believe me. Forever and always, Alex. PS The locomotive key is enclosed, it is yours.

2. When he looked at me, he had the eyes of a discoverer. He seemed to be a scientist. He found a priceless treasure in me, and found a way to decipher some mystery deep in his heart. I can get very close to the secret sometimes, very close, but most of the time I'm light years away from them, which is exhausting. I don't have a second of my own anymore, this secret becomes my life, this mystery clings to us like two accomplices. If the mystery is solved too quickly or not, our love will die.

3. Life is like a child's game.

4.—I used to be a frighteningly quiet child, I kept the silence, wrong, it was the silence that kept me.

- Silent people are uncomfortable. You would think he was either a genius or an idiot.

5. My stomach has been hard like cement for months, getting harder and getting knots all over the place. Not anymore. (Anna: What are you doing in Switzerland?) I'm going for a walk in the wild, kissing the pavement, thanking every step, if I'm still alive. If I die, I will be very angry. I have tried all kinds of days, like a doodle, a mess, like the waves in the sea pushing forward bravely, but I just can't reach the shore, I just can't beat the rocky shore. It's time for me to learn about life, but it's too late, I thought the days ahead were long, yes, there are still many days to get me on track. The girls wanted me to be "easy" and I tried my best, but it's hard to keep things simple.
