Quotes 

• Carla Campbell : Because there was no brave captain. There was no captain at all.

  Vittorio : Then what was he?

  Carla Campbell : One lieutenant, one sergeant and a corporal.

• Vittorio : Why drive through the treacherous mountains in the dark? Get a good night's sleep, in your own bed. And in the morning, when you're fresh, then you can go off and heal your scars. It's been five weeks.

• Carla Campbell : He didn't go three years to school, and suddenly he's a writer. He's a journalist. Who appointed you to conduct the correspondence with my daughter?

  Vittorio : Somebody had to write. After all, she has no father.

  Carla Campbell : Huh. The one thing she's not short of is fathers.

• Vittorio : [as he watches Walter dance with Gia, and bends over to Carla at her table]  This is one of them?

  Carla Campbell : Mm hmm.

  Vittorio : [chuckling]  Hmh, hmh, hmh.

• Vittorio : [as Phil dances with Gia]  Him too?

  Carla Campbell : Mm hmm.

  Vittorio : [lowering his head to hide his laughter]  Hmh, hmh, hmh, hmh.

• Vittorio : [as Justin begins dancing with Gia]  The third one?

  Carla Campbell : Yes.

  Vittorio : Handsome man.

  Carla Campbell : Yes.

  Vittorio : He's well built.

  Carla Campbell : Yes.

  Vittorio : He's a fairy.

• Vittorio : Didn't I tell you?

  Carla Campbell : That's all I need now. Someone to tell me how he told me.

• Carla Campbell : I am only thinking of her.

  Vittorio : Oh, no, I know what you are thinking of. What you are always thinking of.

  Carla Campbell : I told you. Be careful.

  Vittorio : The fine Mrs. Campbell, eh? The buona sera Mrs. Campbell. That people should think you are something you know you are not. But I tell you, even the lowest peasant, the worst woman of the street would not put a child like Gia in jail. Not even for a minute to cover up a lie like this.

• Carla Campbell : You will get out of my house.

  Vittorio : Gladly.

  Carla Campbell : You will never again touch my grapes, my sheets or my truck.

  Vittorio : Delighted.

  Carla Campbell : You're fired.

  Vittorio : The sweetest words I ever heard.

• Vittorio : I'm through. Through being Mrs. Campbell's hired hand. A worm under foot. A man who lives in a pocket. I'm going to find some dignity.

• Carla Campbell : [sighing heavily in learning about Gia's boyfriend]  A married man! Did you ever hear of a day like this. Only one thing can be worse than today.

  Vittorio : What's that?

  Carla Campbell : Tomorrow.
