Tony Rosato: Luigi

Quotes 

• Gondolier : Call the police-ia! Call the marines-ia! A sea monster is attacking my beautiful-a Venice! Mama mia! Francis Sinatra! John DiMaggio!

  Luigi : Oh, I love to hear people speak my native tongue.

• Mario : This is terrible! Venice, Italy is my favorite city! Next to Brooklyn, USA.

  Princess Toadstool : Why's that, Mario?

  Mario : I don't know why. There... There's some mysterious something about Venice that I just feel in my bones.

  Luigi : Oh, yeah, I feel it in my bones, too, but I thought they were just overcooked by the desert sun.

• [Mario defeats Koopa's minions by tossing coral rings around their bodies] 

  Luigi : Hey, good tossing, Mario. Remind me never to challenge you to a game of underwater horseshoes.

  Mario : Into the Warp Pipe, Luigi, Venice needs us. Hey, Luigi, NEVER challenge me to a game of underwater horseshoes.

• Mario : Hey, you feel what I feel, Luigi?

  Luigi : Yeah, tired. Next time, let's get disguises that don't have poles.

  Mario : No, no, I'm talking about something in the... in the Venice air. Something that wrenches a Mario Brother's soul.

  Luigi : But, Mario, we've never been here in Venice before. How could our souls get wrenched?

  Mario : I don't know, Luigi. But I'll tell you one thing, I'm gonna solve this mystery before we leave.

  [Mario and Luigi unknowingly sail past statues of two plumbers who resemble them] 

• Mario : [as Koopa's Doom Sub approaches]  This is no time to be Italian, Luigi! Be Polish!

  [Mario grabs a pole out of the water] 

  Luigi : Polish? I gotcha, Mario.

  [Luigi also grabs a pole] 

  Mario : If Koopa gets us, it won't be our vault!

  [Mario and Luigi pole vaults away] 

• Gondolier : [arrives at the two statues]  Meet Marco Polo's plumbers! They brought plumbing back from China and made Venice what it is today.

  Toad : They sure look familiar.

  Princess Toadstool : Must've been distant relatives of Mario and Luigi.

  Luigi : Well, that would explain why Venice is our second favorite city.

  Mario : And why we're the best plumbers in the Real World and the Mushroom Kingdom!

  Princess Toadstool : And the most modest.

  Gondolier : Leonardo da Vinci! Valerie Bertinelli! Ha ha ha ha ha! Mario and Luigi!
