Rosa Delle Rose
- Rosa Delle Rose: Who is that boy with Pauline Hunter?
- Violetta: That's her brother, Jack. I think he's a dream of a dream.
- Serafina Delle Rose: You don't study no civics tonight.
- Rosa Delle Rose: "Don't study no civics." Why do you talk like you just came over in steerage? This isn't Sicily, Mother, and you are not a baroness. You do sewing. Daddy - Daddy hauled bananas.
- Rosa Delle Rose: Just think. A week ago Friday I didn't know boys existed. Did you know girls existed before the dance?
- Seaman Jack Hunter: I knew they existed.
- Rosa Delle Rose: Do you remember what you said to me on the dance floor? "Honey, you are dancing too close."
- Seaman Jack Hunter: Well, it was hot in the gym, and the floor was crowded.
- Rosa Delle Rose: When my girlfriend was teaching me how to dance, I asked her, "How do you know which way the boy is going to move?" And she said, "You've got to feel how the boy's going to move with your body." I said, "How do you feel with your body?" And she said, "By pressing up close."
- Rosa Delle Rose: You said to me, "Gee, you're beautiful." I said, "Excuse me," and I ran to the ladies' room. Do you know why? To look at myself in the mirror. For the first time in my life, I felt I was beautiful. You made me feel beautiful when you said I was.
- Seaman Jack Hunter: You are beautiful, Rosa.
- Serafina Delle Rose: Who are you? What are you?
- Rosa Delle Rose: Mama, I just introduced him. His name is Jack Hunter.
- Serafina Delle Rose: Hunter?
- Seaman Jack Hunter: Yes, ma'am, Hunter. Jack Hunter.
- Serafina Delle Rose: What are you hunting, Jack?
- Rosa Delle Rose: Mama. Mama.
- Serafina Delle Rose: What all of them are hunting. To have a good time, and the devils cares who pays for it. I'm sick of men, and I'm sick of women.
- Rosa Delle Rose: I want to give you my heart to keep forever and ever and ever.
- Seaman Jack Hunter: In all my born days, I never felt nothing so sweet as the feel of your warm little body in my arms.
- Alvaro Mangiacavallo: [Serafina starts hitting Alvaro] I didn't know what I was doing! I got all twisted around in the house. Signorina, young lady, I thought you was your Mama.
- Serafina Delle Rose: "Your Mama"? Oh, please!
- Rosa Delle Rose: Mama. Mama, stop!
- Serafina Delle Rose: Sporcaccione!
- Rosa Delle Rose: Mama!
- Alvaro Mangiacavallo: Baronessa, please! Don't!
- Serafina Delle Rose: Don't "Baronessa" me.
