Maurice Clavell
- Robert L. Talbot: [looking at his villa] I said, isn't that a new color?
- Maurice Clavell: [chuckles] Houses are like women; The older they get, the more paint they need.
- Robert L. Talbot: I want that villa put up for *sale*! And if you can't *sell* it, *burn* it! I've *had* it with this country!
- Maurice Clavell: Sir, this is not time to be burning your villas behind you. She loves you. She wants to marry you!
- Robert L. Talbot: Yeah, she has a funny way of showing it!
- Maurice Clavell: Italian women are emotional. Sh- sh... she been hurt. She wants time to think.
- Robert L. Talbot: Well, I wanna go back to America... where people get married *without* thinking!
- Maurice Clavell: A martini for breakfast?
- Robert L. Talbot: It's great for the morning after, especially if there hasn't been a night before.
- Robert L. Talbot: Mr Clavell!
- Maurice Clavell: Sir?
- Robert L. Talbot: You are to go with them and you are not to let those girls out of your sight.
- Maurice Clavell: Sir, I can't ride a motor scooter.
- Robert L. Talbot: Then learn.
- Maurice Clavell: I have no sense of balance. I was the only child that ever had to be strapped to his tricycle.
- Margaret Allison: [views Lisa sashaying up the stairs] Who's she?
- Maurice Clavell: A schoolteacher.
- Margaret Allison: She doesn't look like a schoolteacher.
- Maurice Clavell: Margaret, if beauty symbolized occupation, one might mistake you for a former star of the cinema.
- Margaret Allison: [giggles] Oh, Maurice!
- Maurice Clavell: That's part of the charm of Italy. It's the only country where a man can send a telegram and be reasonably certain he'll be there to receive it.
- Maurice Clavell: The war came along. He was standing sentry duty at an ammunition dump. Blew up.
- Margaret Allison: Really?
- Maurice Clavell: Left him slightly shell-shocked.
- Sandy: You wouldn't know it to look at him.
- Maurice Clavell: No. It's like looking at a magnificent castle with a weak tower.
- Robert L. Talbot: You are to go with them and you are not to let those girls out of your sight.
- Maurice Clavell: Sir, I can't ride a motor scooter.
- Robert L. Talbot: Then learn.
- Maurice Clavell: I have no sense of balance. I was the only child that ever had to be strapped to his tricycle.
- Maurice Clavell: The boys weren't interested in feminine companionship. They're too absorbed by the educational aspects of their tour. It's too bad you won't have time to meet them. They're such fine, clean-cut young American gentlemen. True goodwill ambassadors of a great nation.
- Maurice Clavell: Before I leave, can I get you some breakfast?
- Robert L. Talbot: No. Yes, get me an olive.
- Maurice Clavell: A martini for breakfast?
- Robert L. Talbot: It's great for the morning after - especially if there hasn't been a night before.
- Robert L. Talbot: You're a thief! And a liar! Completely untrustworthy!
- Maurice Clavell: A thief and a liar, yes. But not untrustworthy. I really don't think this is the time to talk the matter out. Not while your mind is bristling with negative thoughts of me.
- Robert L. Talbot: I haven't even BEGUN to bristle!
