Angelo Barberini:
Before I go, there is one last thing I want to do.
[
Pulls an handful of Pina's hair]
Angelo Barberini:
God help us, it's real!
Angelo:
Being gay and Italian is a fate worse than... actually there is no fate worse than being gay and Italian.
Angelo:
Are you okay?
Anna:
I will be once the Valium kicks in.
Anna:
So, how's your writing going?
Angelo:
Never better - I gave up.
Pina:
Me, I can convert anybody. Give me an hour in the Gay Village and there's not gonna be a Gay Village no more! Hai capito?
Alicia:
I'm Alicia, and um... I wanna join Gay Helpline because... if I could prevent just *one* gay teen from putting a bullet through his head and make him stand up and shout "I'm gay... *gay*! And if you don't like it, you can all go
[
shouting]
Alicia:
fuck yourselves, you twisted motherfuckers!"
[
low voice]
Alicia:
then I'll be happy.
Nino Paventi:
How'd you get in here? The door was locked, the alarm system was on...
Lina Paventi:
Nino, I'm Sicilian.
Angelo Barberini:
Dear Nino, this is the only way I can think of that I might be able to reach you. So I ask you: Please read this through before closing your mind, before shutting me out forever. Keeping my love for you a secret from the world seemed like a betrayal of that love. Now I know that I don't need anyone else to know about us. We are in love and even if a closet must protect our love it will never contain. I would do anything to make things right again. There is no one if there isn't you, Nino. When you left, everything stopped making sense. I love you, Nino, and I can't bear to be without you. Your Angelo.
Peter:
Angelo, if you can't have compassion for yourself, how you gonna have it for others?
Angelo Barberini:

Lina Paventi:
Oh, Nino... look at this beautiful face! Nice, eh? Now, think of his big, fat mother - because that's the face you're going to end up with!
Anna:
[
on the phone with Nino] Nino, it's Anna. My mom just told your mom... head for the hills!
Angelo Barberini:
[
after asking if he should tell their parents he's gay and she tries to talk him out of it] So you think this will kill them?
Anna:
Yeah, it will kill them.
Anna:
[
suddenly realizes what she's saying] Tell them!
Lina Paventi:
What you are saying is that my Nino is banging your Angelo?
Gino Barberini:
No. I'm saying it's the other way around!
Gino Barberini:
What can I get for you?
Lina Paventi:
My husband has been dead for eighteen years. What I need you can't offer cause you're married.
Gino Barberini:
We make special arrangement. What do you say Maria, we help out a friend?
Maria Barberini:
[
looks at him reproachfully, then turns to Lina] You're better off with your memories.
Pina:
[
after discussing Nino's past with Angelo] Now can we please change the subject?
Mélanie:
Ok. But if he ever asks you to strap on a dildo...
Pina:
[
giggling] Stop it!
Mélanie:
Call me. I have quite a collection.
Anna:
