Quotes 

• Irene Von Mohr : I suppose I owe you an explanation.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : Oh, some things are much better without explanation.

• Irene Von Mohr : I've been here all evening!

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : You're a poor liar. A very poor liar. That's why I trust you.

• Irene Von Mohr : You don't trust me.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : I'll just say for the moment I'm delighted by your company, enchanted by your beauty, and extremely curious to know who you are and why you sat down at my table.

  Irene Von Mohr : Some things are much better without explanation.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : Touché.

• Vincent Van Der Lyn : How did you find my hotel?

  Irene Von Mohr : You shouldn't have come here. I'll drive you to the corner.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : I'm going much farther than that.

• Vincent Van Der Lyn : My instinct was right from the first. I've had every reason to suspect you and everything you've said and done since we met. Yet, my feelings kept denying my suspicions. When you look at me the way you're looking now, my questions disappear. Because, I know that no matter who you are or what you've done...

  Irene Von Mohr : You helped me last night. Please forget the rest.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : I can't forget you!

• Irene Von Mohr : That song is a fado. Fado means fate.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : I believe in fate.

  Irene Von Mohr : This song is about a love that can never be.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : I can't believe that. I tell you what this song is about. It's about a man and a woman who met in a strange and wonderful way. And each was in danger and each was of God and, yet, when the looked at each other...

  Irene Von Mohr : But, those aren't the words. To me, all these songs are sad. Like the first fado I ever heard. The words still haunt me. For the love of you, I lost God. For the love of you, I lost myself. Now I see myself alone, without God, without love, without - you. That's what the song is about.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : No. That's what the words are about. But, the song, if you listen with your heart, means: In the love of you, I lost myself. And now I'm alone no more; but, with God, with love, with you.

• Irene Von Mohr : He took me out of Dachau. Yes, Dachau, the concentration camp! That's where I was sent by the Germans! That's where I spent four months of living dead. It was Hugo who got me out. It was Hugo who saved my life! I'll do anything for him.

• Irene Von Mohr : You and I should never have met. Never!

• Vincent Van Der Lyn : It's late.

  Irene Von Mohr : Don't go yet!

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : There is no time.

  Irene Von Mohr : Forget time. Just one other moment.

  Vincent Van Der Lyn : There will never be enough time, Irene.
