- The couple feels as though they're losing their minds.
- (They probably are.)
- Their solution: drive away Camille's ghost.
- Since they still imagine that Camille is lying between them in bed, Laurent presses Thérèse tightly to him, trying to leave no room for Camille's body.
- In response, Thérèse kisses Laurent's scar, but this causes Laurent a great deal of (physical, we're guessing) pain.
- The couple struggles violently.
- One minute they're embracing each other and the next, they're pushing each other away.
- They're hot then they're cold, they're "yes" then they're "no," you know?
- They keep doing this until they're both completely exhausted, and they have to admit that their efforts are futile.
- Nothing the two do can drive away the memory of Camille.
- Laurent and Thérèse resign themselves to the fact that Camille's corpse will always keep them divided. They'll never get back what they once had.
- Poor lovers/adulterers.
