Andrei Gorchakov : What are you reading?
Eugenia : Arseny Tarkovsky's poems.
Andrei Gorchakov : In Russian?
Eugenia : No, it's a translation. Quite a good one.
Andrei Gorchakov : Throw it away.
Eugenia : Why? The translator's a very good poet.
Andrei Gorchakov : Poetry is untranslatable, like the whole of art.
Eugenia : You may be right that poetry is untranslatable. But music? Music for example...

Eugenia : You're a funk! Full of complexes. You're not free. You all seem to want freedom but when you get it you don't know what to do with it or what it is.

Eugenia : You're the kind I'd sleep with rather than explain why I don't feel like it.

Eugenia : Can't I ever meet the right man? I don't mean you, you're the worst. But I swear I'll find my kind of man! And I have, he's waiting for me in Rome. You dress badly too/ And you're boring. You're the kind I'd sleep with rather than explain why I don't feel like it. Don't you see? I found myself in a most embarrassing position! I've had enough! I can't take any more! I'd like to sleep for 10 days and wipe you out. Maybe there's nothing to wipe out because you don't exist. It's my problem. Why do I like idiots? Men with no charm. I might look young but I know all about charm! Go, go, please
