Direttrice Didattica

Quotes1

  • Direttrice Didattica: The good Inspector has been sent here to explain to you about the Proclamation of Race, which has been signed by the most enlightened Italian scientists. He will, and I am very happy for him to do it, demonstrate that our race is really superior. The best of the moment. Sit down. Go ahead, Inspector.
  • Guido: [pretending to be Inspector from Rome] I'll explain our race.
  • Direttrice Didattica: It's superior.
  • Guido: Naturally. Thanks. So, race is superior. In fact, I just come from Rome and right this minute to come and tell you so there won't be any confusion, my friends, that our race is imminently superior. I was chosen to deliver this message by racist Italian scientists in order to illustrate to you how superior a race we really are in this world. You may be asking yourself, why did they pick me? I think the answer is obvious. Wouldn't you say? Who could you find that could be a more handsome specimen. I am the ultimate example of racial purity. You're impressed? Well, of course you should be. In front of you stands a man who's clearly descendent from pure Aryan blood, my friends. Take me! Let's talk with the folks who say, what's all the fuss about? The ear! Why the ear? Well, take a look. Like fine China, it's perfectly formed. Above the earlobe you find the auricle. With a little precious pendent bell which you can wiggle with your finger. Or, you can wiggle the entire ear. It's movable cartilage. Find two ears prettier than these and I'll leave immediately. Of course, you have to show them to me. In France, they dream about ears like this.
