Quotes 

• Nick Romano : Maybe I can bring in some money so you wouldn't have to do so much, so you wouldn't have to wear dresses like that.

  Nellie Romano : What's the matter? You don't like this dress?

  Nick Romano : You know what I mean. It's a kind of a dress.

  Nellie Romano : It's a kind of a dress I have to wear for a kind of a job.

  Nick Romano : Yeah, but, maybe I can make enough money so you wouldn't have to work in those clip joints, so you wouldn't have to go around dressed like a b-girl.

• Nick Romano : I wasn't fighting because of my father. I was fighting because of you. It's always been because of you, Mom. Everybody knows what you are. Even the teachers, everybody at school knows what you are. Kids come up and ask me dirty questions, they think I know, because, I'm your son. I can't even have a girlfriend, Mom. They won't even let me see their daughter, because, you're my Mom. What do you expect me to do, huh?

• Barbara Holloway : You look a little like Laurence Olivier.

  Nick Romano : You mean we both have two eyes, two ears and one head.

  Barbara Holloway : No, I mean it, really. Right in there, around the eyes.

  Nick Romano : Is that good?

  Barbara Holloway : I'm crazy about him.

  Nick Romano : How does he feel about you?

• Nick Romano : You should see where they live. A penthouse. You can see the whole city from there. And they had this grand piano and I think I played like Arthur Rubinstein. I could hear it, Mom.
