Don Fernando Verdeales
- Uncle Umberto Primo: [crying, after Catita burned down the family house by throwing gasoline to a small fire] There's what you've done... 30 years working as a waiter, earning peso after peso to give my family a roof to live, and here it comes this 'disgraziatta' and burns my house down!!
- Catita: What??!! 'Disgraziatta'?? Me?? Why nobody warned me there was gasoline in the bucket??
- Uncle Umberto Primo: Couldn't you just have smelled at it???
- Catita: You smell flowers, not buckets!!
- Aunt Anunziatta: [crying] ...what are we going to do now?? Where are we going to live?? And all because of you!!
- Catita: Now I am the one to blame??!! Blame it on that criminal man who handed me the bucket!!
- Catita: [answering the phone with Mr. Fernando by her side] Alo! Pizzafrola's Residence, who is this?... What???!!! Mrs. Amalia!!!
- Amalia Verdeales: [on the phone, thinking his husband has died while travelling to Brazil] Don't be scared, Catita! It's me.
- Catita: [hesitating and stuttering, almost unable to speak] Mrs. Amalia!!! N... no... How are you Mrs. Amalia...?
- Fernando Verdeales: [whispering, to Catita] Don't tell her I'm here!!
- Catita: [back on the phone] He tells me not to tell you...
- Fernando Verdeales: Shut up! Talk to her, I want to listen! And don't tell her I'm alive!!
- Catita: [very nervous, she hands the extension line to Mr. Fernando and talks to the phone] Oh... yes... What a surprise!!! Where are you staying, ma'am?
- Amalia Verdeales: I'm at the Grand Palace Hotel, Catita. I just arrived. And since today is wednesday I figured you'd be at home, taking care of things.
- Catita: Why haven't you came home directly? I'm so anxious to gossip with you!
- Amalia Verdeales: Well, Mr. Fernando... is dead now, and it would be terrible for me going back to the house where we l saw him for the last time.
- Catita: [on the phone, hesitating] Mrs. Amalia... But... you see, it turns out... Mr. Fernando is not...
- Fernando Verdeales: [interrupting her and blocking the phone] Don't tell her I'm still alive!!
- Catita: But she's suffering like a donkey!!
- Fernando Verdeales: Suffering is good for people!!
- Catita: One can see nobody has ever stepped on your bunions in a bus full of people!!!
