• Angelo Donatello : The Sons of Italy ball. We'll tie one on together, huh? What do you say? You want to be the lucky girl this year?

  Cinzia Zaccardi : Mr. Donatello, you have a certain native charm. Please reserve it for the natives.

• Angelo Donatello : Did you make up your mind about the boat? Do you want to rent? Do you want to buy? Do you want to make a deal?

  Tom Winters : It's a leaky, broken-down soggy derelict that'll probably sink and dump us all in the river. But I wouldn't think of living any other place.

• Angelo Donatello : Right down the road is my old man's grocery store. And across the river is the country club. Of course, there's a better class of people at the grocery store, but that's up to you. It's a free country.

• Angelo Donatello : My brother once took a dame like that to the Sons of Italy ball. Boom - he's married.

  Tom Winters : Oh, boom.

• Angelo Donatello : I have a good business. I make a nice dollar. I own my own truck, you know. If i want to have a good time, I go out and have it. A blonde one night, a brunette the next, a redhead - mmm! Smorgasbord, you know what i mean? You like a guy who speaks plain like this?

• Angelo Donatello : Is the dame ready?

  Tom Winters : The lady is finishing dressing.
