Quotes
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : How could I be that stupid? You're wealthy, good-looking, intelligent, charming! I should have known better than to get mixed up with someone like that.
Robert L. Talbot : You're not making any sense.
Lisa Helena Fellini : I don't have to make sense. I'm Italian!
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : You're wealthy, good looking, intelligent, charming. I-I should've known better than to get mixed with-with someone like that!
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : When they answer, ask for him.
Sandy : Oh, you think I should?
Lisa Helena Fellini : Of course! It's like fighting a war. If you retreat and the enemy doesn't follow you, you've got turn around and attack. What good is winning the battle if you lose the war?
[speaks Italian into the phone]
Lisa Helena Fellini : Why be miserable with someone you don't love? Better to be miserable with someone you do love!
-
Robert L. Talbot : I can go to *jail* for what can happen to those girls!
Lisa Helena Fellini : What can happen to them? They are four boys and six girls. That adds up to ten, and there's safety in numbers.
Robert L. Talbot : Now there's more to mathematics than adding. Those boys look *quite capable* of dividing and multiplying!
-
Spencer : I can tell you I've had some problems: those sisters of mine. Well, I had the deuce of a job persuading them that it was the accepted thing nowadays for an Englishman to marry a foreigner.
Lisa Helena Fellini : Here in Italy, I am not the foreigner; you and your sisters are the foreigners.
Spencer : Oh, yes, of course. I mean, I realize that, but I wouldn't mention it to them. They're really charming girls.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : They are normal, healthy boys and normal, healthy girls, no?
Robert L. Talbot : That can lead to a normal, unhealthy situation, yes.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Robert! How could you do this? Hm?
Robert L. Talbot : I was only following their golden rule: do unto others before they do it to you!
-
Robert L. Talbot : Somebody has to look after those girls.
Lisa Helena Fellini : I think that they're parents' responsibility.
Robert L. Talbot : You know the trouble with the American parent? They have a new gimmick. Keep your kids off the streets, send them to Europe.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Robert?
Robert L. Talbot : Mhm?
Lisa Helena Fellini : When you get to the terrace, would you do me a favour?
Robert L. Talbot : Sure.
Lisa Helena Fellini : Jump off.
-
Robert L. Talbot : It's gone!
Lisa Helena Fellini : What?
Robert L. Talbot : There's a body missing. It's the one body I don't wanna have missing.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : I don't care what train Mr. Talbot is taking. As long as he takes it. We don't want him here in Italy. I speak for the government. Goodbye.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Anna, do you know what it means to be happy?
Anna : Yes, of course.
Lisa Helena Fellini : But I mean really happy.
Anna : But that kind of happy only gets you in trouble.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Really, Robert, they're very nice American boys.
Robert L. Talbot : So was the Dalton gang.
Lisa Helena Fellini : You know the boys are very hurt; they think you don't like them.
Robert L. Talbot : The boys are right.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Robert! You have a moral streak.
Robert L. Talbot : You know me better than that.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Ah! That's another thing. If you loved me, you'd have learned my language! But no, I had to do it. The weeks I spent studying... Learning to speak this... fluid English.
Robert L. Talbot : Not "fluid." Fluent!
Lisa Helena Fellini : Big shot! Knows all the words!
-
Spencer : First you say you don't love me, then you spend two nights at a man's villa, and finally, when you return you're arrested.
Lisa Helena Fellini : Oh, well...
Spencer : Frankly, Lisa, I can't allow this to go on after we're married.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Where's the telephone?
Anna : I put him in the dish. Don't let him out. While he's in there, you're safe.
Lisa Helena Fellini : I am safe whether he is in or out!
-
Robert L. Talbot : We never even talked about the future!
Lisa Helena Fellini : Women don't want talk, they go by intuition. And I've learned one thing: A woman's intuition is a man's best friend!
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Please. Oh, please listen to me.
Robert L. Talbot : There is nothing I'd rather do than listen to you. I couldn't even wait till September. I rearranged my entire schedule to be here early - just to be with you.
Lisa Helena Fellini : Did you?
Robert L. Talbot : Mm-hmm. Did you miss me?
Lisa Helena Fellini : Yes.
Robert L. Talbot : Well, tell me.
Lisa Helena Fellini : I missed you.
Robert L. Talbot : Oh, Lisa. Lisa. My sweet, sweet Lisa.
Lisa Helena Fellini : Yes, Roberto.
Robert L. Talbot : Now, listen carefully...
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : I can't live like a gypsy. Believe me, Spencer, I'm doing this for your own good. Someday you'll meet a girl who will enjoy going into that cold shower with you.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : I could never be happy living in England.
Spencer : Oh, you will. Really, you will. I mean England's not a bad place. It's a bit like a cold shower at first, but, I mean, once you get used to it, you'll feel all the better for it.
Lisa Helena Fellini : I don't like cold showers.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : He has a right to know I'm getting married.
Anna : A man comes here once a year, stays a month and you never see him for the rest of the year. He has no rights! Send him a letter. That's more than most husbands get.
-
Robert L. Talbot : What's the big joke?
Lisa Helena Fellini : He said, how could he tell her? She was taking a bath, and they're not that friendly.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Everybody looked suspicious, and Sandy knew about us. I couldn't leave. It would've been too obvious.
Robert L. Talbot : Sandy seems to know about everything. Now I know what she's doing in Europe. Her neighbors decided to chip in and send her.
-
Sandy : I think it's terribly exciting. All the girls do. Two people in love, being in a romantic place like this. It's about the dreamiest thing I've ever heard of!
Lisa Helena Fellini : I'm going downstairs to get some warm milk.
Sandy : Warm milk? He looks more like the champagne type to me.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : You know, this is a side of you I've never seen before.
Robert L. Talbot : What is?
Lisa Helena Fellini : This protective attitude toward women.
Robert L. Talbot : Women? They're only 18. Children! No older than my niece.
Lisa Helena Fellini : So?
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : Isn't he terrific.
Tony : [singing] When you see a gentleman bee, 'Round a lady bee buzzin', Why count to ten and then count again, There's sure to be an even dozen, Multiplication, It's the name of the game, And each generation, Plays the same...
-
Sandy : Uh, Tony was just examining my bone structure.
Lisa Helena Fellini : He's studying to be a doctor.
Sandy : Oh, yes.
Robert L. Talbot : Where does he plan to intern? At the Folies Bergère? I don't want to interfere with medical progress, but we're ready to leave. After you, *Doctor*.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : [walks out of the bathroom wearing a towel, hears a whistle, turns around, sees a parakeet on the bed] Well, if you're old enough to fly, you're old enough to look.
[removes her towel, parakeet whistles again]
-
Sandy : He's cute, isn't he?
Lisa Helena Fellini : Who?
Sandy : Tony! I hope I didn't loosen any of his teeth when I hit him. He has such a beautiful smile!
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : You're not mad at him?
Sandy : Mad at him? Why would I be mad at him?
Lisa Helena Fellini : Wait, wait. He got fresh. You hit him. But you're not mad?
Sandy : No.
Lisa Helena Fellini : You like him!
Sandy : Oh, I adore him!
-
Robert L. Talbot : It's something I told some impressionable young girls. To protect their morals.
Lisa Helena Fellini : What about my morals?
Robert L. Talbot : What's that got to do with it? We're adults.
-
Sandy : When he got fresh, it showed that he was interested. And I had to make sure he stayed interested.
Lisa Helena Fellini : So you hit him.
Sandy : That's right.
-
Sandy : It's like Mr. Talbot said, "A girl has to make a boy respect her. If she gives in too easily, he'll never take her seriously."
Lisa Helena Fellini : Oh. He said that?
Sandy : And he's right. He said, "When you go shopping in a market, you don't buy anything that's been handled too much."
Lisa Helena Fellini : Oh. When did Mr. Talbot tell you all this?
Sandy : While we were dancing. He said, "If you want a man to think in terms of getting engaged and married, then you've got to keep your standards high."
Lisa Helena Fellini : What else did he say?
Sandy : He said that love is one product you don't sell by giving away free samples.
Lisa Helena Fellini : Hmm. That's good advice for all of us.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : The business the psychiatrists must do in America. You people are - all mixed up.
-
Robert L. Talbot : That's been the beauty of our relationship. No thinking. No pressure. No questions asked.
Lisa Helena Fellini : It's time someone started asking questions.
-
Robert L. Talbot : Lisa, don't you walk out that door.
Lisa Helena Fellini : Oh, what would I lose? The privilege of seeing you every September? Well, I'm tired of being "girl of the month."
-
Robert L. Talbot : Lisa, come back here.
Lisa Helena Fellini : I said don't touch me!
Robert L. Talbot : If you'd wait a while, everybody will be gone. We can talk this over like adults.
Lisa Helena Fellini : I don't want to talk like an adult. That's how I got into all this trouble.
-
Lisa Helena Fellini : The time I wasted on him! On a hypocrite, a liar, a fraud!
Anna : And you are fortunate. Most women don't find it out till *after* they are married.
