- [first lines]
- Mara: I make this trip every two weeks and I'm always eager to get there. I take with me the souvenirs of happier moments. I wouldn't have done anything differently.
- Mara: You have to stop making decisions without asking my opinion.
- Arturo Cappellini, detto 'Bube': I thought we already decided.
- Mara: Who? You and my father? But I'm not your servant!
- Arturo Cappellini, detto 'Bube': Why didn't you wait for me at the Party house? Why are you here?
- Mara: I wanted to see the market.
- Arturo Cappellini, detto 'Bube': I told you to wait for me there.
- Mara: I'm used to doing whatever I want. If you act this way, you'll get some surprises.
- Arturo Cappellini, detto 'Bube': You must do as I tell you. Don't ever disobey me again!
- Mara: I was joking!
- Arturo Cappellini, detto 'Bube': I'm not and I never do.
- Mara: Bube? Bube! Do you like me well-dressed?
- Arturo Cappellini, detto 'Bube': What's the difference? I like you for what you are.
- Ines: I made love with at least three people. When you work all day long, you deserve a little fun, don't you think?
- Mara: My love, how miserable we are! Hold me. Hold me tight! It doesn't matter if we're not married.
- Stefano: I didn't like how she behaved with me. She didn't have any reserve. When a man and a woman are engaged, the woman must "keep back" the man. Otherwise, where would be all the poetry of love?
- Mara: Bye, Bube.
- Arturo Cappellini, detto 'Bube': Bye, Mara.
- Mara: Bye.
- Arturo Cappellini, detto 'Bube': Bye!
- Mara: Bye, Bube!
- Stefano: What I liked in my girlfriend was only her body. There was no affinity between us. With you it's different, Mara.
- Mara: Why, how am I?
- Stefano: I think that - the look mirrors one's soul. You can't really separate one thing from the other. Do you understand? My girlfriend is good-looking, but she has a vulgar side. While your beauty, Mara, is almost - spiritual. What I mean is that your eyes, your expression, your gestures are so full of grace. I could stare at you all the time.
- Ines: They're showing "Waterloo Bridge" at the cinema, with Robert Taylor. It's wonderful. My sister told me about it. She's a dancer and he's an officer. Then he goes to war - and there's no news of him any more. Furthermore, the news arrives that he's dead. She's desperate and because naughty.
- Mara: What?
- Ines: She becomes a prostitute. Then one day she meets him again, because he'd only been injured. Then...
- Mara: No, don't tell me how it ends.
