Giosué Orefice: [slowly reading signage on confectionery shopfront] "No Jews or dogs allowed".
[turning to Guido]
Giosué Orefice: Why aren't Jews or dogs allowed to go in?
Guido: They just don't want Jews or dogs to go in. Everybody does what they want to, Joshua.
[pointing at store ahead]

Guido: There's a hardware store there. They don't let Spanish people or horses into his store.
[pointing at another store]
Guido: Further ahead, there's a drugstore. Yesterday, I was with a Chinese friend who had a kangaroo. I said, "May we?" "No, we don't want any Chinese or kangaroos here." They don't like them. What can I tell you?

Giosué Orefice: We let everybody into our bookshop.
Guido: No. From now on, we'll write it too. Is there anybody you don't like?
Giosué Orefice: Spiders. What about you?
Guido: [mock-seriously] I don't like Visigoths. Starting tomorrow we'll write: "No spiders and Visigoths allowed." I'm sick and tired of

these Visigoths.
