Quotes 

• Patrizia : Do you like spearfishing?

  Raimondo : I hate it, but I must adapt. What can you do?

• Patrizia : My childhood was like a merry-go-round, now here, now there.

  Claudia : Mine was a very sensible one.

  Patrizia : What do you mean by "sensible"?

  Claudia : I mean without any money.

• Patrizia : I never understood islands. Surrounded by nothing but water, poor things.

• Raimondo : To think that if there ever was a woman deliberately created, actually custom-made for every kind of promiscuity and betrayal, of soridness and debauchery, it would be her. Oh, well. She's faithful, a faithfulness born from a sort of apathy.

  Patrizia : [laughs]  It amuses me. It's the only amusement I know, besides my dog.

• Patrizia : [Raimondo feels Patrizia's breast]  You're a little disappointed. Tell the truth.

  Raimondo : Not at all. Quite the opposite.

• Patrizia : What do you want, Raimondo? You want me? At this time of day?

  Claudia : Bye.

  Patrizia : No, Claudia, stay. There's no spark.

• Patrizia : This luncheon was the last thing we needed. All these people's vitality irritates me.

• Claudia : How do you manage with all this chaos? You've always said people irritate you.

  Patrizia : You shouldn't always take me literally.

• Sandro : Did you get good rooms?

  Sandro : Not really, apparently.

  Patrizia : You should have told Ettore. He always manages to get what he wants.

• Patrizia : What kind of face do you think Raimondo has?

  Claudia : A rather corrupt one, I'd say.

  Patrizia : What? He's a child.

  Raimondo : Don't start, Patrizia. I'd rather be corrupt. Unless you happen to love children.

  Patrizia : I don't love anyone. You know it.
