The Great Beauty (2013)

Massimo De Francovich: Egidio

Quotes 

• Egidio : Why don't you fix her up?

  Jep Gambardella : Me?

  Egidio : Don't you know any rich guys who want a beautiful wife? We could change her name, that's no problem. You'd do me a big favor.

  Jep Gambardella : I'm a writer, not a pimp.

  Egidio : Sorry, I was a bit vulgar.

• Egidio : I'm not important. It's her I worry about. I love her. And I'm not a loser there, I'm a father. And like all fathers, I'm worried. What'll she do in a few years? She can't be a stripper at 50!

• Egidio : She wants to keep doing this job for the money. I don't know why she always needs money and what she fucking does with it.

  Jep Gambardella : For drugs?

  Egidio : I wish, we'd have a common interest. She doesn't even drink beer.

• Egidio : There's my daughter, you see? She makes me so mad, I've told her a million times! You're too old for this! Now these hot young Polish girls rule the scene. They're experts at turning tricks. She's 42 and she wants to be a sophisticated stripper. But the world's no longer sophisticated. Right, Jep?

• Egidio : Do I seem like a loser?

  Jep Gambardella : No, why?

  Egidio : Because I can hear myself talk, I sound like a loser.
