Quotes
-
Beatrice : I was involved in a car accident last year. I was a beautician before. They rebuilt part of my face, but it's... it's kind of hard to give advice on beauty now. And, uh, I have to smile a lot in my job, and most of the time it hurts to smile.
Victor : I don't get to smile so much. My work.
Beatrice : No?
Victor : No. Maybe you and I should switch jobs.
-
Beatrice : [to Victor] I never thought about it before. Revenge. But, when I saw you kill that man in your apartment, I knew I had my answer.
-
Beatrice : He didn't pay!
Victor : Stop saying that! I understand.
Beatrice : You're going to do it.
Victor : What I did has nothing to do with you!
Beatrice : You have to do this. He ruined my life. I have nothing. I am nothing. I want it done as soon as possible. Then I will forget. I will begin my life. And I will forget that I ever met you.
Victor : [yelling] Do you know what it is to kill a man?
Beatrice : I will forget that I ever met you.
Victor : Well it's not a bug! It's not a rat!
Beatrice : I will never kill a bug or a rat. He's much worse than these things!
Victor : You don't know what you're getting into with me. You've no fucking idea!
-
Beatrice : When I manage to forget what happened to me, when there are no mirrors and no people that reminds me, when my mom makes me laugh... in these moments, I have hope.
[pause]
Beatrice : My ma... my ma says that I, um... it is these moments that makes the pain bearable. These moments, where I should try to find them where I can and hang onto them. But they're fleeting. And then I remember and... and I'm filled with so much hate. It's like I want to set the whole world on fire.

Victor : My real name is Laszlo Kerick, and I was born in Hungary. A few years ago my wife and I came to America. I was an engineer before. We came here looking for work. Took an apartment in a building. It was a building they wanted to control.
Beatrice : The men I saw?
[Victor silently nods]
Victor : They got most people out of the building. One night they came and they fired some shots. To scare us, so we would leave. A bullet went through a wall and my daughter was killed while she slept.
[pause]
Victor : We were going to testify. My wife and I. But the man responsible for it all, Alphonse - he gave his orders to make sure he never went to trial. And they were followed. He was afraid to use his own guys, so they sent a crew of Albanians after us. They killed my wife, and they thought they killed me too. And they should've made sure of it.
-
Beatrice : You have to take off your shoes. My mom likes to keep the floor clean.
-
Beatrice : This is the man who hit my car when he was drunk. This is the man who did this to me. I want you to kill him. As you did with the man in your apartment.
Victor : Wait a minute.
Beatrice : No! If you don't do it, I'll call the police and tell them what I saw.
Victor : What the fuck are you talking...
Beatrice : His BMW. It's fixed. As if it never happened. But I can't be fixed. He served three weeks. Three weeks for what he did to me.
