Quotes

La grande nuit de Casanova

Edit
  • [frequently repeated phrase]
  • Pippo Popolino: Farffel farffel pippick.
  • [the Doge formally toasts Casanova]
  • Lucio: [Whispering warningly so that others at the table don't here] Don't toast YOURSELF!
  • Pippo Popolino: The wine's free and I'm thirsty!
  • Lucio: [Whispering in his ear again] Mind your manners!
  • Pippo Popolino: Oh, please stop nibbling on my ear. Don't let this beauty mark fool you, too.
  • Francesca Bruni: Well, then take your mask off.
  • Pippo Popolino: Oh, no. I couldn't do that. I haven't got anything on underneath it.
  • Francesca Bruni: Your lips are fire.
  • Pippo Popolino: I know. Saves a fortune on matches. Don't turn in the alarm.
  • Pippo Popolino: Don't be frightened, Francesca. I'm scared enough for all of us.
  • Lucio: [introducing Francesca on the fly] This is... his, um... um, his first cousin.
  • Pippo Popolino: First by a mile!
  • Pippo Popolino: [as Francesca seduces him into playing Casanova with a kiss] It's just like I always suspected: girls are softer than fellas. If this is the way they live in Venice, let's hurry! We can still catch the 7:15 gondola!
  • Elena Di Gambetta: [Hearing her family trying to get in to save her honor] Run! Hide!
  • Pippo Popolino: Casanova never runs, but he hides!
  • Pippo Popolino: This is Lucio, my food taster.
  • Foressi: Your food taster?
  • Pippo Popolino: Yes. You can't get good food tasters these days. The slightest hint of poison and they quit!
  • Francesca Bruni: [after laughter] Lucio is my cousin's ninth food taster.
  • Pippo Popolino: Tenth, counting Mother.
  • Pippo Popolino: [to Maggioni] Oh, please, spare my miserable life! I'll work off the debt! I'll make more wine for you. I've got big feet! What grapes I can't trample on I can sit on!
  • Pippo Popolino: What's Casanova got that, if I had, I probably couldn't handle anyway?
  • Casanova: Pippo, I need your horse. He isn't much but he's better then running down the road on foot.
  • Pippo Popolino: Run?
  • Casanova: Shh!
  • Pippo Popolino: But why should My Lord run? Everybody's waiting in the kitchen to get paid.
  • Casanova: Exactly why, my friend. I haven't a ducat.
  • Pippo Popolino: Casanova penniless? Oh, but you owe them a fortune. They'll be bankrupt.
  • Casanova: I know. It's very sad. The whole time I am running, there will be tears in my eyes.
  • Francesca Bruni: [selecting a merchant to play Casanova] You! You will be Casanova.
  • Amadeo: Me? But I have seventeen children.
  • Lucio: Well, that's recommendation enough.
  • Raphael, Duc of Castelbello: [finding it difficult to believe Pippo is Casanova] Uh, you were described to us as, uh, regal, handsome, intelligent, virile, uh...
  • Pippo Popolino: That's good enough for mixed company, but then, after all, none of us look too good in the morning, especially after a night out - and what a night I had out.
  • Lucio: Signora Bruni, there is nothing in Casanova's technique I have not seen through keyholes or heard through closed doors.
  • Maria: Casanova, in person?
  • Pippo Popolino: In person, in love, and in a hurry. Kiss me!
  • [Pippo embraces Maria fiercely]
  • Maria: Oh, sir, you're too impetuous.
  • Pippo Popolino: I have to work fast. Venice is a big city. I'm getting to the age where I can only work a couple of canals a day.
  • Maria: But there should always be some polite conversation first.
  • Pippo Popolino: Well, if you insist on formalities - "Delightful weather we're having." Conversation over. Kiss me!
  • Pippo Popolino: I have been a great lover for over twenty years, man and boy. The boy's worn out, but the man...? Hm! Ask any woman in Italy.
  • Pippo Popolino: Oh, now, let's make a deal. I won't kill any of you if you don't kill any of me.
  • Bragadin: Signor Casanova, you do Venice a great honor by your visit.
  • Pippo Popolino: Oh, it's nothing. I like to spread it around.
  • Pippo Popolino: Oh, you look so pretty. I can't think of anybody I'd rather have my throat cut with.
  • Pippo Popolino: Hiding behind a woman's skirts, huh?
  • Stefano Di Gambetta: That's what YOU'RE doing!
  • Pippo Popolino: I knew it was ONE of us.
  • Pippo Popolino: Oh, and by the way, leave your name and address with my valet. If I can't call you, maybe he will. He's skinny but fun.
  • Pippo Popolino: Women are like oranges. You've squeezed one, you've squeezed them all.
  • Pippo Popolino: What time is it?
  • Prisoner: About seventeen-fifty-eight.
  • Francesca Bruni: You only have one life.
  • Pippo Popolino: If you work it right, one is enough.
  • Pippo Popolino: I can't let her down. I'd never be able to look another needle in the eye.
  • [last lines]
  • Pippo Popolino: [Bob Hope as himself] What's the matter with this theater? Don't they sell popcorn?
  • Elena Di Gambetta: Goodbye, Casanova. You're a very gallant gentleman. You have loved many women but I am your greatest conquest of all for I shall remember you like this for the rest of my life.
