Ray Milland: Mario Forni

Quotes 

  • The Thief : I, I have found this. It's a plan of the church at Tolino. I discovered it in a very old manuscript.

    Mario Forni : How do I know you didn't make this yourself?

    The Thief : Do I look like a thief?

    Mario Forni : Yes. You stole this, didn't you?

    The Thief : Out of need, Signor, out of need.

    Mario Forni : I'm sorry I don't do business with thieves.

    The Thief : I''m a poor scholar. With eleven children. All with the whopping cough.

    Mario Forni : I see you've been doing your bit toward the population explosion. However, I might be induced to give a small donation. But you must understand, if I give you money that makes me an accessory. And I am a businessman, my dear scholar. And, of course, it's those eleven poor children - they do worry me.

    Mario Forni : How much do you want for that?

    The Thief : A million Lire. I want a million Lire.

  • Mario Forni : I thought you didn't believe in marriage.

    Madame Rinaldi : I don't. But you make me believe in my own disbelief.

    Mario Forni : I think I know what you mean.

  • Madame Rinaldi : And like all other men, you think you're absolutely irresistible.

    Mario Forni : Oh, not any more. I used to be, you know, but nowadays I find that I have to fight a little harder. What were we talking about?

    Madame Rinaldi : Mohammedan.

  • Mario Forni : [after their car loaded with treasure rolls over the cliff into the ocean below]  Hey, do you know how to skin dive?

    Madame Rinaldi : No. But I'll learn.

  • Mario Forni : I'm unprincipled enough not to have any principles worth anything. But I've never killed anybody. But somehow, some way, I feel I've killed her.

  • Mario Forni : Now, who should we talk about - you or me?

    Madame Rinaldi : You.

    Mario Forni : No, I don't think so. Let's talk about you. I know all about me.

    Madame Rinaldi : And I know all about me, so the conversation is already over.

  • Madame Rinaldi : Oh, if I knew how, I'd pray. Can you?

    Mario Forni : No, I've forgotten.
