Quotes 

• Daniel Michon : ...that legend is just another one of your damn lies.

  Julius : You could make it true. What are legends anyway but stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things? Of course, it takes courage and imagination... not everybody has that. I may be an old fraud Daniel, but I do know this: something that two people who are in love create together against impossible odds, can hold them together... forever.

• Julius : There was no Emilia. She was a fantasy.

  Daniel Michon : She was a lie!

  Julius : She was an attempt to bring - a little romance - into my life.

  Daniel Michon : That's pretty sad!

  Julius : Any sadder than sitting in a darkened theater, pretending you are Robert Redford, performing heroic deeds?

• Julius : There is a legend which says that if two lovers - kiss - in a gondola, under the Bridge of Sighs, at sunset, when the bells of the Campanile toll - they will love each other - forever.

• Julius : If I could pick horses, I wouldn't have to pick pockets.

• Julius : Are any of us so blameless?

• Julius : The legend is true.
