Loretta Castorini: Yeah, my fiancé.

Old Crone: [angry] I put a curse on that plane. My sister is on that plane. I put a curse on that plane that it's gonna explode, burn on fire and fall into the sea. Fifty years ago, she stole a man from me. S'aprese il mio uomo! Today she tells me that she never loved him, that she took him to be strong on me. Now she's going back to Sicily. Ritorna in Sicilia! I cursed her that the green Atlantic water should swallow her up!

Loretta Castorini: I don't believe in curses.

Old Crone: [shrugging] Eh, neither do I.

Loretta Castorini: You ruined my life!

Ronny Cammareri: No, I didn't.

Loretta Castorini: Oh, yes, you did! Oh, yes, you did! Y'know, you got them bad eyes, like a gypsy, and I don't know why I didn't see it yesterday. Bad luck! That's what it is. Is that all I'm ever gonna have? I should have taken a rock and killed myself years ago!

Loretta Castorini: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been two months since my last confession.
