• Piero : I feel like I'm in a foreign country.

  Vittoria : Funny. That's how I feel around you.

• Piero : We'll see each other tomorrow. We'll see each other tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

  Vittoria : And the day after that and the next.

  Piero : And the day after that.

  Vittoria : And tonight.

• Piero : What are you writing?

  Vittoria : I'm translating some Spanish.

  Piero : How do you say "I want to come up" in Spanish?

  Vittoria : You say, "You can't". Tough language, isn't it?

• Vittoria : What did you do last night?

  Piero : I had dinner with seven or eight billion lira.

  Vittoria : Or was it a call girl?

  Piero : Who has time to go out with call girls? I'm the call girl.

• Piero : Vittoria? Vittoria, may I come in?

  Vittoria : No, you can't come in.

• Piero : You mind telling me what's wrong?

  Vittoria : Nothing! Let's walk a bit.

• Vittoria's Mother : [At The Borsa]  See how well Rumianca's doing?

  Piero : Must have invented a new soap for the bidet.

• Piero : Do I know them?

  Vittoria : I don't think so. They don't play the market.

  Piero : You don't like to come to the exchange.

  Vittoria : I still can't figure out if it's an office, a market place, or a boxing ring. And maybe I don't even need to.

  Piero : You have to come often to understand it. If you get involved, it becomes a passion.

  Vittoria : A passion for what, Piero?

• Vittoria : All those billions lost... where do they end up?

  Piero : Nowhere.

  Vittoria : The guy who wins takes the money, right? From the guy who loses it.

  Piero : It's not that simple.

  Vittoria : But if someone loses, where does the money go?

• Piero : Stop telling me to be on time. If I'm late, have an ice cream. What else can I say? Bye.

• Vittoria : Is this serious? Is it fixable?

  Piero : With money everything's fixable, especially here. But for some, it was a complete disaster.

  Vittoria : What about my mother?

  Piero : I don't know. Probably lost 10 million lire. Maybe that's a lot for her, but think of the billions lost this morning all over Italy. Look at that poor guy. He lost 50 million.

• Piero : You've got your troubles, I've got mine. Tough!

• Piero : One minute here costs billions.

• Vittoria : This is what Mama's afraid of: poverty.

  Piero : That's what everyone's afraid of.

  Vittoria : I never think about it. Just like I never think about getting rich.

• Piero : Tell me something. Do you think we'd get along?

  Vittoria : I don't know, Piero.

  Piero : That's all you know how to say. 'I don't know.' So why come with me then? And don't tell me you don't know!

• Piero : You don't know me, but I know you. How are you?
