    Paisan quotes

    • Joe, the American soldier (episode I: Sicilia): Shooting star. See. No, I don't mean bombs. Shooting star! Understand? Shooting star! Where I live, you wish on a shooting star, you get whatever you wish for. So far, I've gotten 53. Always the same wish. And if you see another one in two minutes, a sure sign you'll get your wish. You can't miss.

    • Joe, the American soldier (episode I: Sicilia): Tony can follow you, but, I can't. Look: paisan, spaghetti, bambina, mangiare, fusillini, c'est la guerre. That's it. Oh, yes, Carmela. Now, how 'bout you? Is your English any better than my Italian? Let's try you, huh? Me, Joe. Understand? Joe.

      Carmela (episode I: Sicilia): Joe.

      Joe, the American soldier (episode I: Sicilia): Good. Good. Move to the head of the class. Okay, now, try this. Me, Joe, boy. You, Carmela, girl.

      Carmela (episode I: Sicilia): Ah, gal.

      Joe, the American soldier (episode I: Sicilia): Fine. Fine. You're doing fine. We friends. Understand?

      Carmela (episode I: Sicilia): Friends.
