Quotes 

• Maurice : You were a good mother. I rather left you holding the baby, didn't I?

  Valerie : You did do that. Three children under six, to be exact.

  Maurice : I can see it must have been inconvenient.

  Valerie : That you put your own pleasure first?

  Maurice : I did love you. For a time. And for the rest of the time, I was fond of you.

  Valerie : Please, no. No, don't

  Maurice : More than fond of you.

  Valerie : You don't have to. I don't want it.

  Maurice : It's my goodbye to you.

  Valerie : Why, where are you going?

  Maurice : [chuckles]  We won't live forever.

  Valerie : No.

  [kisses his head; they kiss] 

• Valerie : When you die, everyone wants to be your friend.
