Frances: Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you. Like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly. You shouldn't have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. The light just never went on, you know. I must have known, of course, but I was too scared to see the truth. Then fear just makes you so stupid. Martini: No, it's not stupid, Signora Mayes. L'amore e cieco. Frances: Oh, love is blind. Yeah, we have that saying too. Martini: Everybody has that saying because it's true everywhere.

Katherine: It's a nice little villa. Rather run down, but redeemable... Are you going to buy it? Frances: The way my life is currently going, that would be a terrible idea. Katherine: Mm, terrible idea... Don't you just love those?

Patti: There's something strange about these trees. It's like they know. Frances: And they know that we know that they know. Patti: They're creepy. Creepy Italian trees. Of course, the baby's going to like them cause it's going to be a creepy Italian baby who goes around saying things like 'Ciao mama' and doing that weird backward hand wave thing. Life is strange.

Frances: What if this is it? The real thing? Placido: What you speak of is only in fairy tales. Frances: No, it's not! Placido: And how do you know? From personal experience? Frances: No. I looked, and I didn't find it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
