Seaman Jack Hunter
- Rosa Delle Rose: Just think. A week ago Friday I didn't know boys existed. Did you know girls existed before the dance?
- Seaman Jack Hunter: I knew they existed.
- Rosa Delle Rose: Do you remember what you said to me on the dance floor? "Honey, you are dancing too close."
- Seaman Jack Hunter: Well, it was hot in the gym, and the floor was crowded.
- Rosa Delle Rose: When my girlfriend was teaching me how to dance, I asked her, "How do you know which way the boy is going to move?" And she said, "You've got to feel how the boy's going to move with your body." I said, "How do you feel with your body?" And she said, "By pressing up close."
- Serafina Delle Rose: We are Sicilians. We don't leave the girls with the boys they are not engaged to.
- Seaman Jack Hunter: Mrs. Delle Rose, this is the United States.
- Serafina Delle Rose: I know, but we are Sicilians. We are *not* cold-blooded. My girl is innocent, pure. She is or she was. I would like to know which.
- Rosa Delle Rose: You said to me, "Gee, you're beautiful." I said, "Excuse me," and I ran to the ladies' room. Do you know why? To look at myself in the mirror. For the first time in my life, I felt I was beautiful. You made me feel beautiful when you said I was.
- Seaman Jack Hunter: You are beautiful, Rosa.
- Seaman Jack Hunter: Look, I come home after three months at sea. My sister was going to a high-school dance, and she took me with her. And there I met your daughter.
- Serafina Delle Rose: What did you do?
- Seaman Jack Hunter: At the dance? We danced.
- Serafina Delle Rose: What did you do after that?
- Serafina Delle Rose: Who are you? What are you?
- Rosa Delle Rose: Mama, I just introduced him. His name is Jack Hunter.
- Serafina Delle Rose: Hunter?
- Seaman Jack Hunter: Yes, ma'am, Hunter. Jack Hunter.
- Serafina Delle Rose: What are you hunting, Jack?
- Rosa Delle Rose: Mama. Mama.
- Serafina Delle Rose: What all of them are hunting. To have a good time, and the devils cares who pays for it. I'm sick of men, and I'm sick of women.
- Seaman Jack Hunter: This is the first time I really wanted to.
- Serafina Delle Rose: Wanted to what?
- Seaman Jack Hunter: Make love.
- Serafina Delle Rose: You, a sailor.
- Seaman Jack Hunter: Well, I had opportunities to, but - well, I always thought of my mother.
- Serafina Delle Rose: Huh?
- Rosa Delle Rose: I want to give you my heart to keep forever and ever and ever.
- Seaman Jack Hunter: In all my born days, I never felt nothing so sweet as the feel of your warm little body in my arms.
