Quotes 

• Marcello : I'm going to build a life that's normal. I'm marrying a petty bourgeoise.

  Confessor : Then she must be a fine girl.

  Giulia : Speak out. Go ahead.

  Marcello : Mediocre. A mound of petty ideas. Full of petty ambitions. She's all bed and kitchen.

• Confessor : The one thing you have to do is repent and humbly ask His pardon today.

  Marcello : I've already repented. I want to be excused by society. Yes. I want to confess today the sin I'll commit tomorrow. One sin atones for another. It is the price I must pay society. And I shall pay it.
