- [first lines]
- Miranda: The puffballs.
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: When the puffballs come, cold winter's almost gone.
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: I can stare at an egg for hours, wondering how nature can make things so perfect.
- Miranda: 'Cause it was God who made nature, not an ignoramus like you!
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: In my own home, I'll do as I please!
- Miranda: Listen to His Royal Highness!
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: He's getting worse and worse! They're a pair of little hoodlums! You've brought them up wrong!
- Miranda: Then you do it! Let's see how well you do! I can't stand any more! I'm going crazy! I'm going mad! I'll kill the whole lot of you! No? No? I'll put strychnine in your soup! That's what I'll do! But I'll kill myself first!
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: Good.
- Miranda: Right now!
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: Go ahead.
- Miranda: You'll see!
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: I'll kill myself first!

- Miranda: I did.
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: Why?
- Miranda: You know why.
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: Unlock it. You've heard what's been going on in the piazza all day. Open up. I have business to take care of.
- Miranda: Nothing doing. You're staying at home. What's all this stuff? If I wanted to be a widow, I'd kill you myself. I'll strangle you with your neckerchief!
- Aurelio Biondi, Titta's Father: Think I'm scared of those black-shirted lice? Give me the key. Give me the key! Miranda! Damn it all!
