Quotes 

• Jean : I don't know how to say 'no'. I was never capable of doing that.

  Samy : No, you got me wrong.

• Kader : How do you do with the guys?

  Jean : You're curious huh? Safe sex. A quickie under the bridge, no longer than five minutes and then... Am I shocking you?

  Kader : No.

• [last lines] 

  Jean : I'm alive. The world is not something that is only around me. I'm part of it. Maybe I'll die of AIDS but it's no longer my life. I am part of life.

• Samy : Are you in a hurry or you always drive like this?

  Jean : Always like this.

  Jean : Who is Mr. Andre?

  Samy : An old queer.

  Laura's Mother : Very funny.

• Samy : What's your story?

  Jean : I am... me.

  Samy : Do you like guys?

  Jean : What do you think?

  Samy : I'm just asking...

  Jean : Come here... I'm not gonna rape you.

• Jean : I wanna live, I don't wanna die!

• Jean : Come here, Laura. I wanna say something.

  Laura : What's wrong?

  Jean : You know I've been with lots of guys, one worst than the other... I think we should take some precautions.

  Laura : What precautions?

  Jean : I did the HIV test and the result was positive.

  Laura : You knew that the first time we made love?

  Jean : Yes.

  Laura : And you didn't say anything. You knew it and you didn't say anything. I can't believe! How could you do this to me and not say anything? This is terrible... monstrous. How long?

  Jean : A few months. Don't make judgments. You don't know what it does.

  Laura : No and I don't care and you should have told me. It was the least you could do. Not a word! Do you realize we made love and you didn't say anything.

  Jean : I thought nothing was going to happen to you.

  Laura : Even if nothing's gonna happen, you should have told me.

  Jean : I... don't know how to explain it, as if this weren't a part of me, understand? I couldn't... I couldn't absorb.

  Laura : But you never stopped thinking about it. Didn't you thought about it when we made love? You didn't told me... you don't trust me. Why don't you trust me?

  Jean : It has nothing to do with that.

• [first lines] 

  Jean : I feel I'm going through life like an American tourist, doing as many towns as possible.
