Quotes 

• Julia Balzar : Americans are right to say we should face life with a smile. Just wait until Sissi gets well, then we'll have a merry dance. Who cares? We'll have great fun.

  Kurt Balzar : You only think you're having fun. I'm leaving.

  Julia Balzar : "You only think you're having fun." Even a broken clock is right once a day. And this time he's right, my broken clock. You only think you're having fun, you think you're in love, you think you're being loved. It's like the candles at a party. You blindly stare into the flames, forgetting they'll soon burn out. One belief after another burns out. Until all that remains is the belief in death.

  Katja von Battwyhl : Well, which belief has just burned out?

  Julia Balzar : I don't know. Perhaps my belief in myself.

• Katja von Battwyhl : I'm so glad to see you again, Julia.

  Julia Balzar : I'm just as glad to see you. What a lovely scarf. It doesn't match your hair, but you can always dye that. I see you're doing well. You look nice and plump.

• Katja von Battwyhl : Be quiet! Quiet!

  Mary Jonston : No. The truth is healthy.
