Marie is asked to remove her clothes so a man can treat bruises from a blow she took the night before. She hesitates, worried they're moving too fast; he insists he'll apply medicine and begins to examine and admire her body. He reminds her his earlier confession was sincere, then shifts into a comparison with the man who hit her. Pressing for an answer he asks, "Am I not better than him? Don't you like me?" The question goes unanswered; the scene ends with Marie's response and the next choice left hanging.
