• Patrizia Reggiani : I didn't know I was sitting with a movie star. Can I get an autograph?

  Rodolfo Gucci : Oh, no, no, no. The only good thing that came from my career was meeting Maurizio's mother. Now she, she was a star. I remember at her funeral, during - a moment of silent remembrance, Maurizio noticed the priest lighting candles - and he began to sing "Happy Birthday." He turned, maybe the saddest moment of my life, into something - how do you say - something sweet. That's my son. That is my dear boy.

• Rodolfo Gucci : Over the years, I have found - that true talent is often unaware of its own brilliance. It must be cherished and protected. Whereas hacks, they run around - shouting their delicious ideas, begging to be recognized. Blind - to their own - mediocrity. My dear nephew, you have achieved a triumph of mediocrity. And you have also achieved the unimaginable. You have found one thing - upon which your father and I can agree. Your total incompetence.

• Rodolfo Gucci : Discuss what?

  Paolo Gucci : My ideas.

  Rodolfo Gucci : You have ideas?

  Paolo Gucci : Boof. Does an elephant shit in the jungle?
