- Cesira: Morning, Uncle. Sleep well?
- Padre di Agnese: You take my paper?
- Cesira: Which one?
- Padre di Agnese: "The Messenger".
- Cesira: No.
- Padre di Agnese: As soon as it arrives, it disappears. It's my paper. You're not allowed to touch it! Papers mustn't be read by women who can't understand!
- Zia Tina: The paper's in here! Already screaming this early, eh?
- Padre di Agnese: I'll scream when I like! This is my house! I paid and furnished it! And I want to scream!
- Zia Tina: Scream out there! This is the kitchen! And only I can scream in it!
- [they both scream together]
