Carla
- Leo: I'm sorry.
- Carla: Why are you sorry? You change, right? It's another form of change.
- Mariagrazia: Carla, stop talking nonsense!
- Leo: When you can't go on, there's one thing to do, change.
- Carla: Change? How?
- Leo: Change your life. Get away, start again. A girl like you can have everything. As long as you want it.
- Carla: What's with you today?
- Leo: [pulls Carla down on the sofa] Why don't you come and stay with me?
- Carla: Stop it!
- Leo: I'm serious. You'll have everything. Clothes, cars, trips. Think about it, Carla.
- Carla: Mama, what do you know about style?
- Mariagrazia: Carla, that's enough now! She want's to tell me how to behave. The world's turned upside down!
- Carla: It doesn't matter, Michele. It'll still be the same, at least for me. You realize that it hasn't changed anything. Only a stronger feeling of disgust.
- Carla: What's happening to us, Michele?
- Michele: Nothing, Carla. That's the point. Nothing is happening to us. Or too much is happening and we've learned to ignore it. It's the same thing, the same way.
- Leo: A round of applause for the poet! Every one of us has very concrete motives and reasons for everything we do!
- Michele: Even to steal. Even to sleep with your "almost-daughter"?
