Anna Silver : [sings] I wash the dishes, Fix coffee with cream, I'm so busy, Have no time to dream. I work all day, In this cheap little place, Flowers on the table, Curtains of lace. Young lovers come here holding hands, Wide-eyed, hopeful, They make no demands. They bring in the sun, My life they enchant, A bed built for two, Is all they want. I can't forget how happy they seem, Joy on their faces, Smiles that beam, When I think of them in that sad little room, It chases away my workaday gloom, Faces that shine, Like rays of the sun, So bright that it hurts, So bright that it hurts...

Ida : When your parents are dead and you have no kids, what's left?
Anna Silver : Nothing.

La mère d'Anna : How are things in Germany these days?
Anna Silver : Germany? There are curtains everywhere and tulips on every table. And as a friend of mine says, it's full of Germans.

Anna Silver : I travel all over, you know, showing my films. I meet all kinds of people. I often end up all alone at night in my hotel room. So sometimes I bring someone back with me. But it's always sad and a bit silly, actually.

Anna Silver : She came to see me at my hotel because she liked the film. We went out for a drink. She told me about herself and I told her about myself. The bar was closing, so we went to another one. We kept talking and then that bar closed too. We looked for another one. Everything seemed closed. The city was deserted. We didn't want to say good-bye. So she came up to my room. We were tired. We lay down on the bed and kept talking. We happened to brush against each other. Then we kissed. I don't know how it happened. I felt sort of nauseous. I felt sick. It was too much. I was confused. But we kept on kissing. And then it all became very easy. I let myself go. It felt good. I never imagined it could be like that with a woman. I had no idea. We stayed together all night.

Anna Silver : You're an important man.
Daniel : Important? We can't affect what happens. We're just carried along by the current.

Daniel : What's lovelier than music, than a woman's voice? Where does a woman's voice come from? Will you sing for me?
Anna Silver : I sing off-key.
