Mathieu Carrière: Roget

Quotes 

• Roget : You know, I was wondering. Do you think Diane married you because you're a policeman? Maybe subconsciously she was seeking a protector, a blue knight. I asked my analyst about it this morning, and he thought it quite possible.

  Sam : What else did he say?

  Roget : Regretfully, that I was quite mad.

  Sam : I would agree with that diagnosis.

• Roget : I had a dream about you last night, Diane. -... - In the dream, you were running in the Argonne in the snow. I know it was the Argonne because the flakes were big and wet, the way I remember them as a boy. You went to an old mill, just like the one where the Gestapo caught Moulin. There was a German officer there, tall and arrogant. And you started to make love to him.

  Diane McBride : Roget, please, don't do this.

  Roget : Before it was over, I bled him till the snow turned red.

  Sam : That's enough.

  Roget : [to Sam]  He looked like you. Except for the eyes. He had the eyes of a man who could kill.

• Roget : Your lack of fear shows how little you know of me. Maybe I should tell you a little war story, about a woman I used to know. She had a Nazi lover. And she gave him the names of everyone in our village who was with the Resistance. The Gestapo caught, tortured, and hung them all. All but me.

  Sam : You killed her?

  Roget : Yes.

  Sam : She didn't give them your name?

  Roget : No. I suppose because she was my mother.
