- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian]
- [to Oscar]
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: Guess there's some justice in the world. You suffer, you go through hell. Then happiness comes along or everyone.
- Heavy prostitute with leopard spots: [in Italian, preening and admiring the shadow of her own full figure on the wall] Look how classy I am!
- Long-haired prostitute: [in Italian, disparagingly] You look like Moby Dick!
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian, praying] Madonna, Madonna, help me to change my life. Bestow your grace on me too. Make me change my life.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian]
- [to Alberto]
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: There's another girl, my friend Wanda, she lives there too, but I don't bother with the others. The others all sleep under the arches in Caracalla. Mind you, I have my own house with water, electricity, bottled gas, I've got everything, even a thermometer. See this one here? She never ever slept under an arch. Well, maybe once... or twice. Of course, my house is nothing like this. But I like it.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] What's the point? What am I doing with you? We're both wasting our time. And doing what? Anyway, what do you want from me?
- Oscar D'Onofrio: [in Italian] If you want, I'll marry you. I wanted to ask you before. But I didn't have the courage. I've wanted to - to ask you since the first time I saw you.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] What are you saying? Marry me? What are you saying? Marry someone you've seen ten times. That's not how it's done. Really! Thank God I'm an honest woman!vThat's not how it's done. Excuse-me. What do you know about me? Who I am? You ask me like that? I'm not fool! And you chose me!
- Oscar D'Onofrio: I've asked you no question. I don't want to know anything. Prejudices don't touch me. Because, what matters is that I know your inner self.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian]
- [to Alberto holding up boiled lobster]
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: And what's this? I saw it in a movie once.
- Passer-by: [in Italian, referring to Cabiria] Looks dead to me.
- Man performing artificial respiration: [in Italian] Dead bodies don't throw up water.
- Wanda: [in Italian] Go inside and dry yourself off.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] I don't have the keys.
- Wanda: [in Italian] Where did you put them?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] In my purse.
- Wanda: [in Italian] And where's your purse?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] Giorgio's got it. We took a walk by the river and I fell in. Giorgio got scared and ran off.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] Mambo!
- Boy: [in Italian] Dance, Cabiria! You're in luck! I'm the best dancer in Rome.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] Come on!
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] I'm getting married! He asked me to marry him! We're buying a store in Grotta Ferrata. He's already signed the contract. Without me knowing he arranged it all: a store, a house! I'm selling everything. I'll sell the house. The house. We're getting married in two weeks. Wanda, I'm leaving!
- Wanda: [in Italian] Does he know that you...
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] Of course he knows! I told him everything. I didn't hide anything from him. But, he's a saint. An angel! He didn't want to know anything. He didn't care. He loves me. He loves me. Wanda! He loves me! Wanda!
- Oscar D'Onofrio: I sympathize with you. I came to tell you how moved I was. We can all pretend to be cynical and scheming. But when we're faced with - purity and innocence - the cynical mask drops off and all that is best in us awakens.
- [last lines]
- Passer-by: [in Italian, to Cabiria] Good evening.
- Wanda: [in Italian] The police! The police!
- Heavy prostitute with leopard spots: [in Italian] What you all need is jail.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: But why? Why'd he do it? I gave him everything. I gave him everything he wanted.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: A Fiat is a Fiat. With a car, life's a lot different. You sit up there, high up, and you signal right, left. People think you're well off: a secretary, a Daddy's girl. The men all chase you. It feels great!
- Amleto, 'il magnaccia': Cabiria, why not find yourself a serious man like me?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: I don't need one.
- Amleto, 'il magnaccia': I say you do.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: I say I don't! Why should I slave for filthy pigs like you?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: That's it! The party's over! We're through! Finished! Silk shirts! I'll give you silk shirts! Find another jerk like me! Look what I bought him! Checked suit! Camel-hair coat! Never again! Never! And who's gonna feed you now? St. Peter? Eternal love! You dirty vitellone!
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: Wait! Wait a second! Hey, Fancy Pants! I'm talking to you! Look at me! Look who I'm with! Up yours! Know who this is?
- Alberto Lazzari: What's wrong now?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: Who's gonna believe this when I tell 'em? They already think I'm full of it. I might not believe it myself tomorrow. You have to do me a favor. Give me a picture and write: "Cabiria was here at my house. Alberto Lazzari." "Cabriria Ceccarelli was at my house." Like that.
- Alberto Lazzari: Get out.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: What's it gonna be, Mr. Mustache? What's going on here? Get out, get in, get in, get out! Make up your mind!
- Alberto Lazzari: Come on. Let's have some fun.
- Alberto Lazzari: If Miss Jessy calls, I'm asleep. If she insists, I'm asleep. If she still insists, I'm still asleep!
- Alberto Lazzari: You like it?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: Kind of - it's not really my thing. It's not my taste, but, yes.
- Alberto Lazzari: Beethoven's Fifth. I love it.
- Alberto Lazzari: What's wrong?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: Damn it! I know who you are! I know! Can I say it?
- Alberto Lazzari: Yes.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: Can I?
- Alberto Lazzari: Yes. Yes.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: Alberto Lazzari! I knew you right away!
- Wanda: Think the Madonna would waste a miracle on him? Funny, huh? She knows how you made your dough. Selling coke and pimping women.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: What did I do?
- Oscar D'Onofrio: You acted out a very tender and delicate love scene. I'm still deeply touched. I can't even express it. Yes, what struck me most is that deep inside, you're as pure as you were at 18.
- Oscar D'Onofrio: What happened tonight is extremely important to me. Just imagine, I'm not from around here, I just came by chance. I enjoy strolling in the city in sections that I don't know. I went into that music hall, without knowing why. There's no explanation for what happened. As if guided by fate. Yes, that's the word: fate!
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: I'll be meeting him again tomorrow.
- Wanda: What's he after?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: How do I know? And who cares? As long as he pays!
- Oscar D'Onofrio: Do we say goodbye now, never to meet again? Impossible. I've got to see you again. The city is vast and we still have so much to say to each other.
- Friar: You're not in God's grace?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: Me, no.
- Friar: Why not?
- [Cabiria shrugs her shoulders]
- Friar: Everyone should be in God's grace. Whoever lives in God's grace is happy. I'm in God's grace and I'm happy.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: I even went to the Madonna to ask for Her grace.
- Friar: Maybe you didn't know how to ask or maybe you didn't need it.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: We went at the Metropolitan. A costume movie. Gladiators, Christian martyrs. He explained to me that it wasn't a true story. It's just for the movies, understand? And then, he told me that he gets a kick out of talking to me because - because I understand him. He's even good-looking. Black eyes, brown skin. A northern type. Then we had pizza at a trattoria. He always pays. Even for the flowers.
- Wanda: Nothing? He wants nothing?
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: 'Course not.
- The wizard: [On stage to Cabiria]
- [in Italian]
- The wizard: What type of work do you do?
- Voice of spectator: [Catcall]
- [in Italian]

- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] It's beautiful. Come on.
- Passer-by: [in Italian] Cabiria, Alberto Lazzari's waiting for you.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] I'm not even talking to you.
- Wanda: [in Italian] Don't listen to her.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] Who's listening?
- Wanda: [in Italian] Hey Cabiria, there's Limpy.
- Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] There's a winner.
- Wanda: [in Italian] Hey, you old lecher. Home sick for jail? Come on, Cabiria, let's have a good laugh.
