Quotes 

• Tano Carridi : You are about to do something really foolish.

  Andrea Linori : [pointing a gun at Tano]  Maybe. But,you see... the thought of you still being able to walk through this world... to speak... to blend in with other people... it's unbearable. Your place is not here. It's in Hell.

  Tano Carridi : There is no hell other than this world.

• Tano Carridi : Do you love me? Do you really love *me*?

  Esther Rasi : Yes, I do. I really love *you*.

  Tano Carridi : Why?

  Esther Rasi : Because you're a good person.

  Tano Carridi : No, I'm not. I can't afford to be a good person.

• Tano Carridi : Do you mind if I don't shake hands? I've tried to avoid touching lately. I learned that in the mental hospital. People in there touch each other all the time. Maybe they want to check if they really exist.

• Tano Carridi : That sounds like an impossible task. Which is more of a reason for me to accept it.

• Esther Rasi : Do you have many secrets?

  Tano Carridi : Yes, I do,but they concern my work.

  Esther Rasi : Yes, I know that, but I mean, personal life secrets. women. Lovers...

  Tano Carridi : I don't like lovers. I have a wife.

• Tano Carridi : [after Corrado has entered his house without permission, to see Greta, and finds the girl lying on the floor surrounded by toys]  What did you expect to find? A torture chamber?

• Esther Rasi : [digging in the garden]  Would you like to help me?

  Tano Carridi : I don't think so. I don't get my hands dirty if it's not absolutely necessary.

• Tano Carridi : [about killing Ester]  I had to do it. She was going to leave me... just like everybody else.

• Antonio Espinosa : What is wrong with you?Say something!

  Tano Carridi : I'm burning everything I have. you should do the same.
