Mother: Giuseppe, Giuseppe. Do you think I kept you in school all these years for this piece of paper? Do you think it didn't break my heart to see you, a grown man, among school boys? But at least I knew where you were, a place to go every day where the Sisters could look after you. Now - what will I do with you? What will you do with yourself?


--Lea Padovani (as Mother) in The Reluctant Saint

Mother: Your father was a wonderful man to love - but not to live with.
