"I can't stand women who remind me of their furniture"--Pauline at the Beach
"I have a fiance, two in fact! One her and one in America"--ibid.
"She can't love him, or she's insane!" "Love is a form of insanity"--ibid.
"Did he score?" "That's such an ugly word!" "Not the word, the act"--ibid.
Dreamed of reflecting that a good war story can be about the war coming to someone slowly but inexorably like a tank approaching from the horizon; the sitcom McHale's Navy; the Gordon Lightfoot song Early Morning Rain; going out jogging before dawn (like Moira does).
Dinner was lasagna.
Saw the DVD of Eric Rohmer's Pauline at the Beach. A pretty fun combination of Gallic talkfest and summer romp. (Rohmer's Frenchwomen are what American women wish they were!)
