Atomic Age Quotes

Victor: To Theo: You're right, I like to sleep in. Getting up for a desk job - what a nightmare. And when I look at you, your face, your haircut, your clothes, it's the most depressing thing - a flunky working for a boss, parked in a chair for eternity. Without your cologne, you reek of death.
Rainer: To Theo: You're like a window display - no flaws allowed or you're done. The second you're at a loss for a put down - bang, you're dead!
Victor: Again to Theo: You're on borrowed time. So is your gold card, your car, your abs and your smile. That's because you've got a price tag on your life, down to the penny. You're a product.

Movie: Atomic Age
Rainer: He was a soldier, a young soldier, open-mouthed, bare-headed, his nape bathed in the cool blue cresses. He's lying on the grass under the clouds, pale in his green bed where light falls like rain. His feet amidst the gladioli, he sleeps. Nature, hold him warmly. He is cold. Perfumes don't make his nose quiver. He sleeps in the sun one hand on his chest, tranquil. He has two red holes in his right side.

Movie: Atomic Age
Rainer: Now I'm throwing myself off the Pont Neuf and attempting an exceptional swan dive. I'm swimming in the Seine and I'm coming Paris. Right now it's the magical hour, the blue hour, the hour when the city of light shares the dawn with Madrid and Vienna. Swimming up the river streams, utterly naked, I swim towards the galactic paths of the Pacific... Tired, my forehead bathed in a mist, I lie on the crest of a wave that spills its foam in the coral sea and leaves me on the sands of the Guinean coast. Washed up on this archipegalo full of ships, totems and old sorcerers between the blowing wind and the compelling stars, I think that true happiness can only be found in mad love.
