Don Ersilio Miccio (segment "Il professore") : The hand is soft. Just like that. Soft. Gentle. And wet lips a bit. Wet them with the saliva. Keep the fingers up, otherwise the noise is not good. It won't reach our objective. Instead, with the pernacchio I made you hear, you can start a revolution.

Don Ersilio Miccio (segment "Il professore") : There's pernacchio and pernacchio - actually, I can say that the true pernacchio doesn't exist anymore. The current one is called, "pernacchia." But it's ugly and vulgar. The classic pernacchio - is an art. We are - we are - Pasqualino, Vincenzio - we are three, four, to know the style deep and to practice it in all Naples. Which means all over the world. The pernacchio can be of two species, head and chest. In our case we must melt them together. Head and chest. You need brain and passion. The Pernacchio we'll do to this guy will signify that he is a disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting man.

Don Ersilio Miccio (segment "Il professore") : The big proof - she won't give to you - the proof. The proof. Nothing, got it? Remember. You must marry her first. She won't give up. She came to me. I advised her.
