Thomas: What's wrong?
Isabelle: I'm mediocre.
Thomas: You are, huh?
Isabelle: I am. And I'm not sensual.
Thomas: You're definitely sensual.
Isabelle: I'm coldly intellectual. Too pale. Altogether too ethereal. And my feet hurt from wearing these stupid shoes.

Sofia: This is what you call a floppy disk?
Edward: Yeah.
Sofia: But it's square.
Edward: Yeah, yeah I know, but they call them floppy disks.
Sofia: It's not floppy either. It's stiff.

Kurt: You're a product.
Sofia: I am?
Kurt: You're a commodity. Thomas tendered your body in exchange for money.
Sofia: So I'm an article of trade?
Kurt: Yes. A useful thing, in terms of classic capitalism. I studied economics. I know what I'm talking about.
