Valerian: When did you get so sentimental? If you don’t benefit from it then, why do it at all? Because you love her. Don’t be ridiculous. Love is a game for fools, a game that you’re inevitably going to lose. How long do you think it will be before she sees you for the monster you really are? 

Sirius: Monster…[weary chuckle]
