Adèle:

[chuckles] Kiss. To start with, then we'll see.
Emma: I was fourteen. Sometime around then. There was a party, all the girls had guys. I went out with Louise - that was her name, Louise. We didn't kiss at the party, but... I invited her to sleep over. That's when we kissed.
Adèle: Have you always preferred girls?

tried both. I dated guys, girls, and I realized I preferred girls. For sure.

Adèle: Really?
Emma: It did me good. Especially in affirming my freedom and my own values. And the rigorousness of his commitments. I agree with it.
Adèle: Sort of like Bob Marley. Almost.
Emma: [laughs] I'm not so sure of it.

Adèle: I'm almost sure of it. Their ideas are similar. You know "Get Up, Stand Up"?
