Quotes
Alfredo
Living here day by day, you think it's the center of the world. You believe nothing will ever change. Then you leave: a year, two years. When you come back, everything's changed. The thread's broken. What you came to find isn't there. What was yours is gone. You have to go away for a long time... many years... before you can come back and find your people. The land where you were born. But now, no. It's not possible. Right now you're blinder than I am.
Salvatore
Who said that? Gary Cooper? James Stewart? Henry Fonda? Eh?
Alfredo
No, Toto. Nobody said it. This time it's all me. Life isn't like in the movies. Life... is much harder.
