Cecily: Shakira and Beyoncé pulsed through the walls, and we gave ourselves up to translucent fabrics and hot nights with optional toplessness and mandatory thrusting.

Alexander, on destiny.
Alexander: Whenever I move back to Paris I’m going to live in the 10ème and eventually marry Xavier Dolan. I’ve realised it to be my destiny.
Two friends, on expectations.
Alexander: What do you want to happen with Ohan?
Cecily: I would like to see him once every six months, for a week of pure bliss, and never ruin the incredible beauty of what we have by turning it into some conventional full-time relationship. What do you want with Sam? Full-time lying on a beach and reading Proust to each other, while he occasionally barbecues kale and tempeh?
Alexander: I’ll be honest and say I want to know he’s not sleeping with anyone else, and to hear him say “I love you”, and a cute two-bedroom in Park Slope, with matching miniature schnauzers. Plus kale and tempeh in abundance.
Two friends, on hair.
Cecily: I need a twelve hour hair protein mask and some highlights.
Alexander: Highlights are for those amongst us with a fairer complexion, and those who have had the misfortune of being named “Becky”.
