Men and Women (1964)

Mário Benvenutti: Luisinho

Quotes 

• Luisinho : Will you keep with that face?

  Nelson : I didn't want to go out tonight.

  Luisinho : You needn't get upset just because you don't like women. It's not your fault.

  Nelson : But you don't want to understand. It's not that.

  Luisinho : I do understand. The other night, when you were drunk, you'd said: "It's a monstrous thing that a man can sleep with any woman".

  Nelson : Stop being an idiot.

  [pause] 

  Nelson : It's not like that.

  Luisinho : It's almost like that.

  Nelson : Almost, but it isn't.

  Luisinho : I think you're being foolish worrying about that. It's ridiculous.

  Nelson : Stop bothering me.

• Mara : Don't you like anything?

  Luisinho : I don't think so. If I do, it's for a short period of time.

  Regina : We can see that. I'd like to see you in a bad situation. Without an apartment and without a 368th girl. Broke like those two.

  Luisinho : I'd like it better.

  Regina : I know that.

  [pause] 

  Regina : You know what? You're the type of guy that, without money, wouldn't get anything. Anything!

  Luisinho : You better shut up. I just gave you money because I see you're miserable. Finding a woman like you is the easiest thing in the world.

  Regina : Right. You two make a great duo, huh? That one always with a sad face, and you saying you're bored. What a nuisance!

  Mara : Come on Christina.

  Regina : I'm through! We're here since 11:00, making up things like poor devils.

  Luisinho : She's right. You just have to look at us.

  Regina : At least I don't annoy anyone. I'm just defending what's mine, since no one else will. If you lived like, you wouldn't get as bored.

• Nelson : What's different is always taken.

  Luisinho : Yeah.

  Nelson : You're having a bad luck today, huh?

  Luisinho : But I won't give up.

• [first lines] 

  Luisinho : Bye! That's enough, daddy's in a hurry.

  [his son is pretending to drive the car] 

  Luis's son : Let me start it?

  Luisinho : Sure.

• Luisinho : [on Nelson]  You were enjoying staying with him, right?

  Regina : Until when you came to mess things up.

  Luisinho : You'll like it with me even more.

  Regina : Will I?

  Luisinho : You'll see.

• Regina : Listen. What were those numbers which you said when we came in?

  Luisinho : Ah, those were your number and hers.

  Regina : What number?

  Luisinho : Your entrance number. You're 367.

  Regina : That's ridiculous. Not even 20 year-old boys do that anymore.

  Luisinho : Why? Didn't you like your number?

  Regina : Why don't you number your sister?

  Luisinho : Because I don't have one. If I did, I'm not so sure. Soon, you'll start liking me.

  Regina : Whatever. For me, you're number 1800.

• Luisinho : What a bothersome!

  Nelson : Looks like she'll wait for us indeed.

  Luisinho : I know what's she wanting. But she's not getting it from me. Seems that she liked you.

  Nelson : I pity people like this.

  Luisinho : Yeah. I pity her.

  Nelson : Pity?

  Luisinho : You symphatize with the old broad, huh?
