Gabriella Lepori: The Mother - Adriana's Neighbour

Quotes 

• The Mother - Adriana's neighbour : God only knows what you girls are thinking. How can a girl like you, with every advantage - - young, pretty, with a nice figure, single - - keep falling in love with so-called "wonderful guys" and getting in trouble like some silly country girl. Good thing you came to me. There's one mixed-up girl that I won't name whom I've helped 15 times! They're not cheaper by the dozen! That's just being irresponsible! I mean, please!

  Adriana Astarelli : And if I keep it?

  The Mother - Adriana's neighbour : I don't believe I heard correctly. Say that again. Keep it? You know what that means? Good-bye to everything.

• The Mother - Adriana's neighbour : It just makes me mad that a girl like you - - other girls I've helped are riding in Jaguars to opening nights and wearing rings even Grace Kelly never dreamed of! And they don't even have your looks. Feel that. Firm as a rock. I know men who'd sign over their factories, employees and all, just to be with you. Listen, I'll take care of you.

  Adriana Astarelli : No, I've never been interested in earning money that way. Things get complicated and you are forced to...

  The Mother - Adriana's neighbour : Now you're making me mad! That's a bunch of nonsense. If you were some virginal saint, you could stand on principle. But you go with just anyone. You're like the prize at a charity raffle.

• Adriana Astarelli : You could get some old guy who never takes you out to have fun or go dancing.

  The Mother - Adriana's neighbour : Rheumatism is a sign of wealth. Handsome young dance-floor Romeos don't own factories.
