  Emmanuelle : How far can true love go?

  Jean : It wouldn't be true love if you could measure it.

• Emmanuelle : Here, idleness is an art form.

  Mario : It's because we're abroad. As exiles, we're reduced to futile pastimes. Napoleon passed the time on St Helena counting his spoons. One mustn't become resigned at any price.
