"There is a beauty in anonymity, monsieur. Just as you, I am infamous, yet entirely unknown. Take away my masks and who am I? I could be the wealthy eccentric person society believes me to be. I could be ugly. I could be beautiful. I could be old or young. I could be the average woman that you walk by on the street every day, or I could be the poor girl luring lecherous men into dark alleyways simply to earn a meal. With the masks I am someone-a set figure in everyone's minds. Take away my masks and I am no one, yet I am everyone. Take away your mask and who are you?"

"I . . . I am a monster."

"No, monsieur. You are whomever you wish to be."
