Love Is Not Love (2016)

Gemma Whelan: Kate

Quotes 

• Kate : So much more satisfying to consummate a passion poetically betwixt pure white sheets of paper, rather than physically in the snowy linen sheets of love.

• Will : Look, I know we've discussed the idea but the more I think about it, the more I see that what is required to convincingly portray a woman on starge is not feminine understanding or girlish insight. It's a squeaky voice, pouty lips and a couple of half coconuts.

  Kate : I just really, really feel that an actual girl would be more convincing. Plus, it's my dream.

  Will : Kate, be realistic. The law states that a woman may not attend university, take a profession, hold public office or own property.

  Marlowe : Men are better than women, by law.

  Will : Exactly. It therefore follows that they must even be better at being women.

  Marlowe : Well, that's just obvious.
