Anthony Booth: John

Quotes 

• Assunta Patanè : Teach him a lesson. Please, punish him!

  John : But, what did he do?

  Assunta Patanè : Touched me, like this! And insulted me.

  John : No, not him love. Compliment.

  Assunta Patanè : No compliment. Insult. To me and you.

  John : Me?

  Assunta Patanè : Yes, you. If Vincenzo were here and he saw, he'd take a knife and attack him. Vincenzo is a man. A real man!

• John : Listen, darling, I'm tired. I'm tired. In my house there are two rooms: one for me and one for you. If you want to sleep with me, I'd be very happy. If not, I won't touch.

  Assunta Patanè : Swear.

  John : What?

  Assunta Patanè : Swear.

  John : Okay. Swear.

• John : Let's dance a little. Come on. Look, why do you dance like steel? Hard?

  Assunta Patanè : Would you believe it? I'm not used to dancing with a man!

• Assunta Patanè : You man. I woman. No one in the house and you look at the TV?

  John : Oh, you're a little love.

  [moves in for an embrace] 

  Assunta Patanè : No! No! Let go! How do you allow yourself? Saint Giovanni!

  John : What's the matter with you?

  Assunta Patanè : Holy Mary! The pistol! The pistol! I kill you! Kill you! Kill you! Watch yourself or you get this in the eye!

  John : I don't understand? I don't understand? You provoked me!

  Assunta Patanè : The true man must show and the true woman must defend.
