Clouds of Sils Maria Quote

Maria Enders: [Referring once again to the play 'Maloja Snake']I don't know why I should be helping bring it to life.
Valentine: I bet you weren't saying stuff like this when you were playing Sigrid.
Maria Enders: I was a kid when I was playing Sigrid. I - I wasn't asking those kind of questions.
Valentine: Like Jo-Ann and her science fiction film?
Maria Enders: Yeah, probably.
Valentine: Don't you want to get that innocence back?
Maria Enders: You can't get innocent twice.
Valentine: You can. If you just accepted Helena the way you accepted Sigrid. Obviously it's easier to relate to strength rather than weakness. Youth is better than maturity. Cruelty is cruel; suffering sucks. She's - she's mature and she's innocent. She's innocent in her own right. That's what I like about her.
Maria Enders: Make some coffee: want some?
Valentine: [Repeats 'Cruelty is cruel; suffering sucks' to herself and shakes head in self-conscious regret at the unsophisticated sound of it]
Valentine: You didn't answer me. You have your interpretation of the play. I think mine's just confusing you. It's frustrating me. It's uncomfortable. It's not good.
Maria Enders: Stay.
Valentine: No, no.
Maria Enders: Please, stay. I need you.
