Quotes 

• Athos Magnani, father and son : [to Draifa]  Are you Draifa?

• Athos Magnani, father and son : There's phrase that..."A man is made of all men. He is equal to all and all are equal to him". I forgot my suitcase at the station.

• Athos Magnani, father and son : [talking to a horse]  Locked you in, too? You knew my father, too? Is it true we're identical?

• Athos Magnani, father and son : You will not kill me. Even a dead traitor is damaging. A hero is more useful. A hero, whom people can love. I shall be basely murdered by a Fascist. We'll offer the spectacle of a dramatic death to seize people's imagination so they will continue to hate more and more Fascism.

• Draifa : Athos, you're a coward. You're hard on me, Draifa.

  Athos Magnani, father and son : You're hard on me, Draifa.

• Athos Magnani, father and son : It's a town of madmen, old men and old madmen. Yesterday, they locked me in a stable with a horse. "We're all friends here." This morning when I was hardly awake, a punch in the face. "We're all friends here."

  Draifa : I've not been able to sleep since he died. Insomnia, without dreams, without anything. Entire nights alert like a hunting dog. I've always known the murderer is a local man; now two of us know it. He's scared. He wants you to go.

  Athos Magnani, father and son : Instead of leaving this morning, I'm still here. Among friends.
