Quotes |
[Casanova enters the confessional and crosses himself]
Giacomo Casanova: Bless me father, for I have sinned. Again. Um, I don't know where to start, um. It's money, father, er, love of money is a sin, isn't it? Priest: A grave sin. Giacomo Casanova: I, I don't love it as such, but I need it, is that a sin? Priest: In too great a measure then, yes. Giacomo Casanova: It's not for me. You see, there's this woman, um, and I suppose you can include lustful thoughts while you're at it... [the priest nods] Giacomo Casanova: Er, there's this woman, but she's engaged, and all this went on behind her fiancé's back. Um, not literally. [remembering] Giacomo Casanova: Although I have actually done that... But anyway, um, first of all I was with another woman, and I slept with her, sorry, er, well, I slept with her lots of times so, very sorry. Um, but before that she was a man. I was going to sleep with a man, sorry. But it turned out she had a false penis down her trousers. [the Priest clutches at his heart] Giacomo Casanova: So, I slept with her, without the false penis obviously, um, [dreamily] Giacomo Casanova: although we did find a way of using it... But never mind that. You see, I, I was just trying to be honest, like the sisters told me, um. Oh yeah, two sisters. I slept with them, both at the same time, er, er, lots of times, I suppose I should, I should mention that. Priest: [clutching at his heart] Oh dear God! Giacomo Casanova: I know, I know, but at least I didn't sleep with their mother. [Remembering] Giacomo Casanova: Although I have actually done that, um, I suppose you should put that on the list. Two sisters, and a mother, and... oh and those nuns... two nuns, you might know them. [the Priest keels over] Giacomo Casanova: So, all in all, it's been a bit of a time, really, and I've ended up penniless. So, what do you think I should do, father? [Silence] Giacomo Casanova: Father? Father? See more » |
