A young man is plunged into a life of subterfuge, deceit and mistaken identity in pursuit of a femme fatale whose heart is never quite within his grasp. Remake of François Truffaut's 1969 film 'Mississippi Mermaid'

Luis: Julia, I just killed a man!
Julia: I just bought a hat.
Louis: Laugh when I tell you that I still love you.
Julia: No, not me. You don't love me.
Louis: Oh yes. Oh yes. Yes, you. Not Julia Russel, Not Bonny Castle. You. I love you as I know you. Because I know you. As you are. Good and bad. Better and worse. I told you this already, but you didn't believe me. Tonigh you will. To us. A short life but an exciting life. (TAKES POISON)
Julia: Don't do that.
Louis: No other one. No other love but you. From first to last. Start to finish. Don't change, Julia. Don't ever change.
Louis: Have you no conscience at all? I mean...
Julia: Yes of course I do. But you see, I don't let it get the best of me. It's just something that happened. It had to be done. And when something has to be done, you do it, right? So here's to us, a short life, but an exciting one.
Louis: I want to give her everything. And I want to take everything from her.
Alan: Oh Louis, you're a lost man.
Julia: No this is not a love story, but it is a story about love. About those who give in into it, and the price they pay. And those who run away from it, because they are afraid, or because they do not believe they're worthy of it. She ran away. He gave in.
Luis: Christ! You'll be the death for me.
Julia: Oh... I hope so.
Luis: And perhaps later on I will tell you the story of how we came to be here. It is an interesting tale. Some of it is even true. But for now, I can say that from the moment I saw her, I loved her. And no matter the price, you cannot walk away from love.
Julia: It's the theater. I love it - even the cheap melodrama.
Julia: You did not want a woman to be interested in you just because you owned a pretty bank account.
Luis: Um, yes.
Julia: Yes. Well, then we have something in common. We are both not to be trusted.
Louis: Whore! Liar! Thief! Don't you see? Don't you see that I cannot breath without you? I cannot live without you? Don't you see that? Don't you see how much I love you?
Luis: -Love is not for me, Alan. Love is for those people who believe in it.
Louis: I don't dance.
Julia: I say you do.
Colonel Worth: You're about as French as my asshole!
[first lines]
Julia: You cannot walk away from love. That was the advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper. And that is how he found her.
Luis: Do you love me, Julia?
Julia: Do you love me? Or you're not the loving kind?
Julia: Get this man a doctor!
Security Guard: What about him?
Julia: [fires gun] He's dead.
Louis: She's not coming back, is she, Sarah?
Sara: She never was here. You were married to a dream. A dream that stole your soul. God must have been angry with you the day he let you look in that woman's face.
Julia: If someone would bring me my coffee every morning before I dressed, I would be very happy. It would change the day.
Luis: What is your name?
Julia: Bonnie. Bonnie Castle.
Luis: Is that your christian name?
Julia: It would be... If I were a Christian.
