• Alfio Magnano : What is it you do to women?

  Rosaria Magnano : No need to be ashamed of that.

  Alfio Magnano : What do you want? With us, the Magnanos, all women melt when we touch them.

• Edoardo : Here, everybody knows each other. We know the kind of wolves we are. All the old things, at least they're noble.
