- Major Andrea Rossi-Colombotti: [to the doctor] My earliest memory is of making a pair of stilts and walking on them around my hometown. The women's bedrooms were on the second floor back in those days...
- [a man catches Andrea peeping into his house, and grabs a machete...]
- Major Andrea Rossi-Colombotti: Believe me, Doctor, I can give you a hundred stories like that one...
- Major Andrea Rossi-Colombotti: Gigliola, there is a saying that goes: "An untouched flower is an unloved flower." Your offer was too generous. I can be with many women as I feel the urge to do so, but I would rather die and leave you untouched rather than take you as all those others I have met in my life...

- Gigliola: Andrea, come to bed...
- Major Andrea Rossi-Colombotti: Yes, my darling. I am coming.
- [Andrea climbs on to the ledge and attempts to break into the bedroom]
- Gigliola: ANDREA! What are you doing?
- Major Andrea Rossi-Colombotti: You know, what a woman wants is a bit of fancy, a touch of romance. But nowadays, there's no risk, no challenge to face. They're too easy to conquer! You snap a finger, they all come running!
