Erich von Lhomond: I have no mistress, Sophie.
Sophie de Reval: You don't want to talk about it.
Erich von Lhomond: My affairs with women have been short and trivial. There's nothing to say.

Erich von Lhomond: Women want lasting relationships. Friendship means more to me.
Sophie de Reval: Than love?
Erich von Lhomond: It's more reliable.
Sophie de Reval: You've only met the worst sort of women.
