Quotes 

• Amerigo : I wonder how you were at 15.

  Bianca : As I am now, I assure you. Well developed. Don't you like me as I am?

• Amerigo : Now that I know you, when I leave here, until I come back, I don't live.

• Amerigo : So, you recognized me.

  Bianca : Don't you know we're worse than cops?

• Bianca : Well? Are you stunned? What is it? Am I impressing you so much?

  Amerigo : Yes, for how beautiful you are.

  Bianca : Then, buy me! Bianca doesn't cost much anyway. Come on, let's go.

• Bianca : Maybe I'm the first woman you've dealt with.

  Amerigo : Yes and no.

  Bianca : I don't mean girlfriends, you may have had some. But, when you came to town, have you ever been with women like me? Tell the truth. Maybe I'm the first luxury girl that you've known. But what luxury? It's a room like any other.

• Amerigo : I am alone. The girl I grew attached to is a bad lot.

  Dante : And you - you believe yourself to be honest? What have you done for her? You ever thought about it, Ghigo? Listen to me. If she still has a light within, it's up to you to make it a blaze.

• Amerigo : There are days like this one, when you seem to die, like my uncle, and to relive, little by little.

• Amerigo : You are...

  Bianca : You're not able to say it. I'm a slut. But, a slut with brains.

• Amerigo : A bit of love doesn't matter?

  Bianca : No! You know why we love each other? Because we're good together in bed. It's nothing to do with the heart. I don't know what it is, the heart. When I think of you, it's for desire. Desire, understand? You must like me for what I am. Because you have the same desire. Which comes and goes. It doesn't involve sentiment. Nothing.

  Amerigo : So, what should I do?

  Bianca : Oh, God, he didn't get it! Lie down beside me, as before. I seemed to touch the sky, so much I wanted you. There, together. Without paying, without being paid. Is there anything more honest? We're beasts. Not humans. We're beasts.
