Quotes 

  • Amelia Bonetti : It might be wise to drop some moves, you know, like the lift. I don't want to end up on the floor.

    Pippo Botticella : You'd still be in my arms.

  • Pippo Botticella : Unquestionably, we descend from the apes. The trouble is we can't get back to them, to their gift of instinct, of natural innocence.

  • Amelia Bonetti : I meant to ask you, why didn't your wife come with you?

    Pippo Botticella : She just didn't come. Isn't it better?

  • Amelia Bonetti : A handsome fellow, but drugs, armed robbery, kidnapping. A big crook and still so young.

    Pippo Botticella : Good for him.

    Amelia Bonetti : So many crimes already!

    Pippo Botticella : Good for him!

  • Pippo Botticella : You with your little bourgeois baby face, you make your bundle off the sweat of others.

    Amelia Bonetti : What are you ranting about?

    Pippo Botticella : That young man refuses to be exploited, he rebels and I a'm on his side. He wages a just war against the system's abuses. That's all I have to say!

    Amelia Bonetti : This is the voice of raging senility! You're going through mental-pause! So I'm an exploitive boss?

    Pippo Botticella : You have a business with employees who work for you?

    Amelia Bonetti : I break my neck from 6am till midnight in a two-bit outfit with a tiny staff and I'm a slave driver?

    Pippo Botticella : Amelia, we've got to rebel! I'm on the rebels' side. We've got to rebel against all this too. I burn when I see injustice. I burn!

    Amelia Bonetti : So, go ahead and burn!

  • Pippo Botticella : Just let me up on that stage. Let me up on that stage and you'll see! Tonight, I talk, I spill the beans, to 60 million Italians. I'll say it all.

    Amelia Bonetti : What are you going to say?

    Pippo Botticella : You're all sheep!--You're all sheep! You're all sheep! You're all sheep! You're all sheep! You're all sheep! You're all sheep! You think I'm here for the 800,000 lire? I don't give a shit! So you invented television? You watch television day and night? You pay attention only to television? Then tonight, listen to me. To me!

  • Pippo Botticella : It's chilly. I could use a cognac.

  • Pippo Botticella : It's kind of nice here. It's like a dream, far from reality. You have no idea where you are.

  • Amelia Bonetti : I tell myself that I'm doing it for my little nephews or for my friends or on an impulse. The truth is, I really wanted to see you again.

    Pippo Botticella : Ah. Very romantic. I was looking forward to seeing you too.

  • Pippo Botticella : A shapely ass, gives your tool gas.

    Amelia Bonetti : Still the same old tune!

  • Pippo Botticella : A woman with a puny ass, is like a kiss without a moustache.

  • Pippo Botticella : You always got this part wrong. Not the steps--the expression of the face. You smile. It's just the opposite, much more subtle. Here the melody ends, embracing, oblivious, like a dream. Do you get it?

    Amelia Bonetti : Who asked you for a sermon?

  • Pippo Botticella : The midget in orange--she looks just like you.

    Amelia Bonetti : I see you after 30 years and this is the thanks I get?

  • Pippo Botticella : A busty woman, keeps your dong a-chuggin'.

  • Pippo Botticella : Finally! It's about time for a serious discussion of tap-dancing.

    Amelia Bonetti : Bravo!

    Pippo Botticella : Tap-dancing is not just a dance. It's more, much more. Much more

    Amelia Bonetti : Be more specific! I agree that tap-dancing is much more, much more.

    Pippo Botticella : Yes! It's much more! Yes.

  • Pippo Botticella : At first, tap was not a dance at all.

    Amelia Bonetti : What was it?

    Pippo Botticella : The Morse code of black slaves. A wireless telegraph.

    Amelia Bonetti : How so?

    Pippo Botticella : On the cotton plantations, when slaves talked instead of worked, the slave driver whipped their skin off. So what does your black slave do? He communes with his brother like this.

    [taps with this hands on his legs] 

    Pippo Botticella : "Watch it, the guard's around!"

    [taps a different rhythm] 

    Pippo Botticella : "I have a knife"

    [taps a different rhythm] 

    Pippo Botticella : "Shall I do him in?"

    [taps a different rhythm] 

    Pippo Botticella : "I love you"

    [taps a similar rhythm, Amelia smiles] 

    Pippo Botticella : "I love you too".

    Journalist : Very interesting! The language of love and death!

  • Pippo Botticella : I try to capture certain images of the female body and what it arouses in a man.

  • Pippo Botticella : A midget-maid's cheeks, A dong bespeaks.

  • Pippo Botticella : [begins undressing]  I feel a bit shy. Yet we slept together so many times!

    Amelia Bonetti : You're so sweet! Are we in such bad shape?

    Pippo Botticella : These days, when I undress in front of a woman I avoid it, if I can. And you?

    Amelia Bonetti : Who, me? I don't have those problems. Boy, you ask some questions!

    Pippo Botticella : Pardon moi, madame. Once upon a time, when I undressed, I'd get a round of applause from the lucky girl! Oh, yes. No slouch was old Pippo--stage name, Fred!

    Amelia Bonetti : In fact, I lasted 15 years with the sexual nomad, as you defined yourself.

    Pippo Botticella : What was it like--with your husband?

    Amelia Bonetti : It was all very different. You and I were so young back then.

  • Pippo Botticella : Toto told you I flipped? Who knows what possessed me after you left? Separation anxiety, loneliness.

    Amelia Bonetti : I swear I didn't know. I'd have come immediately.

    Pippo Botticella : What for? We broke up, we weren't working anymore. Only these lunatics could remember us. We're phantoms. We arise from the darkness and vanish.

  • Pippo Botticella : Videoholics!
