Pina: It's been two years now. How long ago that seems now. And how things have changed, though we were already at war then.
Francesco: Everyone foolishly thought it would be over quickly and that we'd only see it on newsreels.
Pina: When is it going to end? Sometimes I just can't go on. This winter feels like it will never end.
Francesco: It will end, Pina, and spring will come again, more beautiful than ever, because we'll be free. We have to believe it and want it.

Francesco: We mustn't be afraid now or in the future, because we're on the just path. Understand, Pina?
Pina: Yes, Francesco.
Francesco: We're fighting for something that has to be, that can't help coming. The road may be long and hard, but we'll get there and we'll see a better world. And our children especially will see it. Marcello and the one on the way. That's why you mustn't ever be afraid, Pina, whatever happens.
