Naoufel[edit]
- That it must be peaceful to be cut off from the world like that. To see nothing... hear nothing...
Others[edit]
- The Father: I never said it was easy. You can't win every time. That's life.
Dialogue[edit]
- Gabrielle: Once you've dribbled past fate, what do you do?
- Naoufel: You try to keep away from it. You run blindly... and keep your fingers crossed.
- Naoufel: Do you believe in fate? No, seriously.
- Gabrielle: That everything is written in advance? That we follow a trajectory?
- Naoufel: Yeah.
- Gabrielle: And that we can't change anything?
- Naoufel: We think that we can, but we can't. It's an illusion. Unless we do... Something completely unpredictable and irrational. It's the only way to conjure the spell for good.
- Gabrielle: You should switch jobs, delivery is just not your thing, y'know.
- Naoufel: I know. My boss keeps telling me that.
