• Young Boy : [after kissing Kyrstyna]  I'm sorry.

  Krystyna : Don't be silly.

• Krystyna : [Speaking to the young man, comparing him with her husband]  You're just like him... only half his age, and twice as dumb.

• [repeated line] 

  Krystyna : You've drowned a boy.

• Krystyna : So, you do know how to swim.

• Krystyna : Six to a room. You want to sleep, they play cards. You want to study, they dim the lights. Canteen lunches, cheap smokes. Kissing in the alley, fingers so cold you can't unbutton her blouse. Did I leave anything out?

• Krystyna : Why do you carry that murderous thing?

  Young Man : A knife comes in handy. Especially in the woods. You don't need one on the water, but cutting your way through the woods...

• Young Man : Sailing's easy. It's when you hike that you need a knife. That's how it is in life.

  Krystyna : You're a real child.

• Krystyna : [singing]  Say no more, no more, Don't look that way, let me go, We're out of words, and moons, and stars, There's no tenderness in us, Don't lie anymore, don't beg, You know there's nothing left, Though life is empty, you don't need me, Joy has faded and our love's gone sour...

• Krystyna : You're just like him - only half his age and twice as dumb.

  Young Man : What do you know about life? Just cafes, yachts and cars. Bet you've got a four-room apartment.

  Krystyna : I suppose you live four students to a room.

  Young Man : Six, actually.

  Krystyna : I've been through it myself. So has he. You're no better than him. He was just like you. And you want to be like him. And you will be, if you've got the guts.

• Krystyna : I left the cucumbers behind.

• Young Man : We're sailing!

  Krystyna : Sure, for sailing's sake.

• Andrzej : What d'you think you look like?

  Krystyna : Like your wife.

  Andrzej : Without me you'd be a whore!
