Lili ElbeLast night I had the most beautiful dream. I dreamed that I was a baby in my mother's arms. And she looked down at me, and she called me Lili.

Gerda WegenerWe went for coffee, and after... I kissed him. And it was the strangest thing. It was like kissing myself.

Hans AxgilWe were fooling around in the kitchen. Einar was wearing his grandmother's apron. We were just little boys, you know, playing around? Anyway, Einar just looked so pretty and... I had to kiss him! So, yes, I kissed Einar.

Dr. HexlerTell me about Lili... Where did she come from?
Gerda WegenerIt's hard for a man to be looked at by a woman. Women are used to it, of course, but for a man to submit to a woman's gaze - it's unsettling. Although I believe there's some pleasure to be had from it, once you yield.

Lili ElbeSo, what you're suggesting is that, uh, a doctor intervened. To correct a mistake in nature.
Hans AxgilIt didn't take much to be different in Vejle. Surely that's why we became friends.
Einar WegenerEvery morning I promised myself that I will spend the entire day as Einar. But there's so little of Einar left.
Hans AxgilYou think these things because you're exhausted.
Einar WegenerSometimes I think about killing Einar. But it's only the thought that I'd be killing Lili too that stops me.

WarnekrosMrs. Wegener, I do believe I can help your husband. But he won't be your husband when I've finished.

American WomanDon't you wish you could paint like that? Oh, I'm sorry? I said, don't you wish you could paint like your husband? Really. You must be so proud of him. So elegant.
Dr. HexlerRadiation is a miracle, Mr. Wegener. It destroys the bad and saves the good.

Gerda WegenerFor a man to, um, submit to a woman's gaze is, er, unsettling... Although I believe there is some pleasure to be had by it - once you, ah, yield.
