Men and Women (1964)

Gabriele Tinti: Nelson

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.

• 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.

• Nelson's lover : When I think of you, I become worried and uneasy. Not for me, but for yourself.

  Nelson : That's waste of time.

  Nelson's lover : I know. It seems impossible to help you. And you don't want to be helped.

• Nelson's lover : One year ago you wouldn't let me go out alone. Never. Not even staying at the gate. You were jealous about everything. I'm waiting for you to say you don't like me anymore. Then you won't see me again. You can say it.

  Nelson : But you know I do like you, right?

  Nelson's lover : I'm not sure. Only it's not the same as before. I notice you feel bad with me.

  Nelson : It's not because of you. I don't feel well anywhere, with anybody.

  Nelson's lover : That's all you have to say?

  Nelson : I'm trying to be honest. I'm tired of always pretending.

• Mara : I like it so much when people look for me for the second time.

  Nelson : Many come again?

  Mara : Some.

  Mara : Seems like you're angry about yourself. I'm right, aren't I?

  Nelson : I guess so.

  Mara : You should stop thinking about one thing only, everything gets better then. For me, at least.

• 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?
