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!

[At a restaurant, he and his son notice a nearby table occupied by an apparently well-off family who are eating quite well]
To eat like that, you'd have to earn at least a million a month.

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.

Have you got a bike or haven't you?
Antonio Ricci
I've got one. I've got one.

Remember if you haven't got a bike, there's nothing doing, right?

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.
