Famous Quotes

Orsola: I want to die. Only when I'm dead, can I love you.

Dalmazio: I feel dead when I love you.

(Orsola pulls out piece of paper, reads from it.)

Orsola:

There was a young pharmacist's daughter

Who each day went down by the water

She'd take off her dress

And to people's distress

Do very strange things with an otter

Orsola: I hate you.

Dalmazio: I am spent.
