Didier Bontinck:
I am an ape. And I'm afraid.

[last lines]

Didier Bontinck:
Will you say hello to Maybelle for me?

Didier Bontinck:
Bluegrass, that is Country in its purest form.

Life is NOT generous.

Elise Vandevelde:
I always knew. That it was too good to be true. That it couldn't last. That life isn't like that, life isn't generous. You mustn't love someone. You mustn't become attached to someone. Life begrudges you that. It takes everything away from you and it laughs in your face. It betrays you.

Didier Bontinck:
Bye bye, birdie.

Maybelle:

Didier Bontinck:
I love you.

Maybelle:
I love you too.

Didier Bontinck:

Didier Bontinck:
Maybelle is dead, sweetheart. She's dead. She's gone, she's not here anymore.But we are still here. I'm still here. We have to carry on together.
