René - best friend : I'm in love with my cousin. She's got beautiful long hair. But the idiot's gonna cut it next week. I might not like her with short hair.
Antoine Doinel : Does she love you?
René - best friend : I don't know. I've never said a word. I'm waiting to see her haircut. If I still like her, I'll send her a love letter.
