Alexander 'Alex' Joyce: Are you sure you know when I'm happy?
Katherine Joyce: No, ever since we left on this trip I'm not so sure. I realised for the first time that we... we're like strangers.
Alexander 'Alex' Joyce: That's right. After eight years of marriage, it seems like we don't know anything about each other.
Katherine Joyce: At home everything seemed so perfect, but now that we're away, alone...
Alexander 'Alex' Joyce: Yes, it's a strange discovery to make.

Eugéne François Vidocq: Like most good men, I came from a poor but honest family - a little poorer than honest. The difference accounted for my being born in prison. Whenever poor mama expected another baby and consequently needed shelter, it was her custom to steal a loaf of bread and go to prison. She had stolen eleven loaves, served eleven sentences, and had eleven children, when to her misfortunes were added a twelfth. When poor mama went to a better world, leaving me to make the best of this one, what is more natural than that I should often return to the happy scene of my earliest childhood?
