In <i>Breathless</i>, Patricia utters pertinent lines of dialogue throughout the film:
* I don`t know if I`m unhappy because I`m not free, or if I`m not free because I`m unhappy.
* It`s sad to fall asleep. Falling asleep separates. Even if you`re lying together, when you`re asleep you`re alone.
* I want to know what`s behind that mask of yours.
Actually, what Mademoiselle Patricia really meant was, “I want to know what’s behind this mask of mine.”
