"...What  do  they paint?  Besides  their  fingernails?  He
is going for his usual routine.  'So you're painters?  I'm a
painter too.  Come to my studio,  I'd like to show you my
work.  I know  your  face a while.  I painted it before  you
were even born."

Dora: "He attacked me and stole my bicycle."
Picasso: "You must inform the police."
Dora:  "I told them,  but they said the assailant  is within.
It's you. You're my assailant. You may be a great painter
but morally  you're  worthless.  You live an evil life.  You
have contaminated the whole world!"

Dora: "You have to be saved."
Picasso: "You save me."
Dora: "No, don't you see? I can't. Corruption is eating me
up too. I'm like a rotten tooth in your mouth. It's not your
fault, it's not my fault...."

"Oh, yes. Everyone always knows where they stand with
you. But she's not going to last fifteen minutes with you.
Perhaps  she  thinks  you'll immortalize her.  Don't raise
your  hopes.  Picasso's  may  turn  out  to  be  no  more
immortal than the skeleton of some extinct bird of prey."

Picasso: "You should be glad that I'm in a good mood
again. And in love."
Dora: "You've never loved anyone in your life! You even
hate yourself."
Picasso: "Dora is quite a psychologist, you know."

Dora: "The owner's wife was killed in a car crash. That's
why he couldn't bare the place anymore. I think it's
haunted by that poor dead woman."
Picasso: "Don't say these things!"

"Yes, it's my house, but he gave it to me. It's his present to
me. It's full of scorpions, as you'll find out. Shake out your
shoes in the morning before putting them on."

"I don't like cats. But when my dog died, he gave me a cat.
I still have it. It's called 'Moomoon'. He gave it that name.
It's a very vicious cat! Look..."

Marie: "This man is the father of my child. You have no
right to be here!"
Dora: "It's true, I haven't got a child, but I think he finds me
equally, if not more amusing, without one."

"He'll leave you when he's ready. Even then you won't be
free of him. And after him...Without him...There's nothing.
After  Picasso,  only God.  And  Moomoon... That cat just
won't die!"
