Gianna Brezzi : I think that a woman's gotta be independent so she can...
Marcus Daly : Oh, don't start with me about all that woman's stuff. It is a fundamental fact... men are different from women. Women are... weaker; well, they're gentler.

Carlo : You know, sometimes what you actually see and what you imagine... get mixed up in your memory like a cocktail... from which you can no longer distinguish one flavor from another.

Carlo : No, Marc. You think you're telling the truth, but in fact... you're telling only your version of the truth. It happens to me all the time.

Marcus Daly : [playing a jazz piece, Marc abruptly stops and addresses the band] Great! Really, that's good. Very good. Maybe a bit too good... Too clean. Yes, too precise. Too... formal. It should be more trashy. See what I mean? Remember that this sort of jazz came out of the brothels.

Calcabrini : What are you doing in Italy?
Marcus Daly : I am a pianist. Jazz. I teach here at the conservatory. I teach jazz.

Marcus Daly : I told you, I'm a pianist.
Calcabrini : Yeah, sure.

Marcus Daly : Well, so now what are you going to do?
