    Mamma Roma : About your father - guess what I dreamt last night? I dreamt we were up in the mountains in Greece. First it was full of mud. Then we came to a hill covered in rosemary, and a voice called out, "Mamma Roma. Mamma Roma, come here." It was your father's voice. Just imagine. Yes, I walked towards your father's voice, and on the other side of the hill, who do you think I saw?

    Ettore : Who?

    Mamma Roma : You. But you were a policeman.

    Ettore : What did I do?

    Mamma Roma : You wanted to put me in jail.

    Ettore : And what did you do?

    Mamma Roma : I ran as fast as I could. Just look at this rascal, wanted to arrest his mother!
