Amelie: Maybe she’s just different.
The ‘glass’ man: Ah? In what way?
Amelie: I don’t know.
Amelie: You know, the girl with the glass of water? If she seems out of place, maybe it’s because she’s thinking of someone.
The ‘glass’ man: Someone in the painting?
Amelie: No, of a boy she saw somewhere else. She feels like they’ve a lot in common.
The ‘glass’ man: In other words, she prefers to imagine a relationship with someone who is not there rather than to tie real bounds with people around her.
