- Pasquale Lojacono: Will you stop this! Please.
- Raffaele: What did I do?
- Pasquale Lojacono: Well, just don't sound like Dracula all the time. All right?
- Raffaele: He fell madly in love with a beautiful and saintly nun.
- Pasquale Lojacono: Oh? Madly in love with a nun?
- Raffaele: He carried her away from the convent, brought her here and bent her - to his *will*.
- Pasquale Lojacono: So, he bent her?
- Raffaele: He bended her.
- Alfredo Mariano: We'll go together to Pompeii and kneel before the Holy Madonna and pray.
- Maria Gennari: You know how a pray like that would end, Alfredo.
- Alfredo Mariano: What are you saying? For me, you'll always be my Madonna.
- Sister Evelina: You see, everything is new. Under Signore Alfredo's guidance, the House of Purgatory has blossomed - into a paradise!
- Alfredo Mariano: Maria, you look - look so undernourished.
- Maria Gennari: Me?
- Alfredo Mariano: Yes, undernourished. I looked at you the other day. Yes, yes, here - in the neck and in the chest. You look so undernourished. You're not getting enough to eat - to nourish this - this beautiful body. So undernourished!
- Pasquale Lojacono: The newspaper? Oh, there it is! Maybe she wants the horoscope. Let's see. Leo the lion? Virgo the virgin? What's your sign.
- Sayonara: Virgin.
- Pasquale Lojacono: Sure.
- Alfredo Mariano: A prostitute! I've sold my soul for a jezebel! I've lost my virginity to a slut! To a slut!
- Sayonara: He beats me and I love him just the same. We women *are* idiots.
- Maria Gennari: Just poor idiots.
- Maria Gennari: My husband is just plain dirt. Not even worth throwing in the dustpan. And I'm worst. I know what he is and I don't even have the nerve to betray him.
- Sayonara: Your husband is not a real pimp, Signora. Maybe he pushes a little; but, only because he has blind faith in you and he's right. Trust me, Signora, your husband is not a *real*, genuine pimp.
- Sayonara: I don't think anyone who loves anyone is a fool. Maybe, silly. Like me. My pimp Arturo takes 85% of all I earn and I still love him.
- Sayonara: There's something I must tell, otherwise, you might never notice. I'm not as good a girl as I look.
- Maria Gennari: These days, to be good, are not to be.
- Maria Gennari: Kiss me. Kiss me!
- Alfredo Mariano: What? Kiss?
- Maria Gennari: Yes. Yes!
- Alfredo Mariano: Oh, my love! At last!
- Maria Gennari: No! What are you doing? No!
- Alfredo Mariano: My life! My love! My lust! My light!
- Maria Gennari: Not now! Later. Not here.
