Antonio Ricci: "There's a cure for everything except death."
La Santona: [Addressing a young man seated before her, apparently seeking advice on his love life] You must plant your seeds in another field. Do you understand what I mean?
Young man seeking advice: No, I don't understand.
La Santona: It's simple, my boy. What good is planting seeds if the soil rejects them? You plant, but don't gather. Understand?
Young man seeking advice: I haven't understood a word.
La Santona: [Becoming impatient] She doesn't love you! Forget her!
La Santona: [Pausing for effect] Dear boy, you're very ugly. Yes, ugly. There are so many other women... Go and plow another field!
Antonio Ricci: Forget everything. We'll get drunk!
La Santona: What have they stolen?
Antonio Ricci: My bike.
La Santona: What can I say? I can only tell you what I see. Listen: you'll find it straight away or not at all. Understand? You'll find it straight away or not at all. Keep your eyes open.
Antonio Ricci: Where, straight away?
La
Santona: How should I know? Go and try to understand what I said. You'll find it straight away or not at all.
Employment Officer: Have you got a bike or haven't you?
Antonio Ricci: I've got one. I've got one.
Employment Officer: Remember if you haven't got a bike, there's nothing doing, right?
Antonio Ricci: Think I'm going to wait another two years? I'll be there with a bike.
Employment Officer: Hey, Ricci, remember your bike! You have to have a bike.
Antonio Ricci: A bike? I have and I haven't. I can't get my hands on it right now. Perhaps in a few days time.
Employment Officer: You need one straight away or they won't take you on.
Antonio Ricci: I can do it on foot for the first few days.
Employment
Officer: If you haven't got a bike, you'll have to let someone else take it.
Antonio: It's pointless. These's nothing doing. It always rains on Sundays.
