The Piano Teacher quotes

  • Erika Kohut: Do you like me calling you darling?

    Walter Klemmer: It's absolutely marvelous.

    Erika Kohut: You must be patient. I'll give you all the names, we'll play all the games you want.

    Walter Klemmer: You know you really stink? Sorry, you stink so much, no one will ever come close to you. You'd be better leave town until you don't stink so bad. Rinse your mouth more often, not just when my cock makes you puke.

  • Erika Kohut: Schubert's dynamics range from scream to whisper not loud to soft. Anarchy hardly seems your forte. Why not stick to Clementi? Schubert was quite ugly. Did you know? With your looks, nothing can ever hurt you.

    Walter Klemmer: Why destroy what could bring us together?

    Erika Kohut: Mannerism is no...

    Walter Klemmer: [interrupting her] Why can't I look at you? Because if I do, I won't resist the temptation to kiss you on the neck. May I kiss you on the neck?

    [she walks away]
