Quotes

[first lines]
Lisa : Are you asleep?
-
Mariagrazia : Carla has to find a husband. You know what people are like. If they find out there's an auction, it's goodbye marriage.
Leo : If I give an extension, things won't change. It's not easy to get a bank loan. We're in a crisis all over Europe! Everyone is careful with money now. But I wouldn't worry about your daughter Carla. She's young, beautiful.
Lisa : Do you really believe that, Leo? People here are very concerned about money, social standing, appearances. You know, no money, no friends.
-
Lisa : Where have you been? A date? A girl? You can tell me.
Michele : Yes. A girl, Lisa. Young. Very beautiful. I met her recently, but it's like I've always known her. Like she was part of me. We never get tired of looking into each other's eyes.
Lisa : One day, you'll tire of looking into each other's eyes.
Michele : You believe everyone's the same: vulgar, hypocritical, false, and corrupt like the rest! That's not the case. There's someone who's different! There has to be!
-
Michele : I don't remember hearing you mention that Mother took him from you.
Lisa : Who?
Michele : Leo.
Lisa : It's not as if she took him from me.
Michele : She stole him from you - dragged him from your bed. Call it what you will, Lisa. The fact is, he was your lover.
Lisa : Yes. I was very young. Stop it, Michele. Oh Michele, Michele, it didn't mean anything. It happened after my husband left.
-
Lisa : Not like this.
Michele : What do you mean?
Lisa : I want it to be different.
Michele : Different?
Lisa : Yes. This way, we'll spoil everything.
Michele : Very well. Tell me exactly how you want it to be.
Lisa : There should be a kind of understanding.
Michele : Something more - a profound understanding. Pure.
-
Michele : You look better without clothes.
Lisa : Listen, darling, You're making me feel uncomfortable.
Michele : No.
Lisa : Yes.
Michele : What is it?
Lisa : You're strange.
Michele : Is it so strange that a man and a woman wish to make love as light filters through the window? Look at that. It's started raining again.
-
Mariagrazia : Lisa, you're right. Life's so stressful now. But I need something stronger than face packs!
Lisa : Oh, Mariagrazia, you'll manage. You're a strong woman. I admire you, I really do.
Mariagrazia : There's nothing to admire. I assure you.
