Quotes 

• Fred, an American soldier (episode III: Roma) : Remember when we first came into Rome. All along ago it was. You know, when we finally broke through. Girls were all happy and laughing. Fresh. Full of color. Beautiful. It gave us a funny feeling. And now it's all different.

• Fred, an American soldier (episode III: Roma) : I like Italian girls. Their language. Their eyes. Their hair. Their figures.

• Francesca (episode III: Roma) : Aren't you gonna get undressed, sweetheart? Your clothes.

  Fred, an American soldier (episode III: Roma) : No.

  Francesca (episode III: Roma) : You're afraid 'cause I ran off, but my papers are in order. Warm me up a little. What's wrong?

  Fred, an American soldier (episode III: Roma) : I don't want any.

  Francesca (episode III: Roma) : You should be ashamed, a young man like you. If you don't like me, you should have said so. You stood around staring for two hours. You had lots to choose from.

  Francesca (episode III: Roma) : Yes, Rome is full of girls like me.

• Francesca (episode III: Roma) : Why so long to get to Rome?

  Francesca (episode III: Roma) : Yes, you're here.

  Fred, an American soldier (episode III: Roma) : What's the matter? Afraid?

  Francesca (episode III: Roma) : Not afraid. Happy. Very happy. It hardly seems true. It's been so awful. So awful.

  Fred, an American soldier (episode III: Roma) : Not awful. Lovely. It's lovely here. Rome's lovely. Everything's lovely. You're lovely.
