How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Marty.

Quote #4

RALPH: You'll like this guy. This guy's a nice guy.

Even if he ain't anything to look at, Marty can always be relied upon to behave himself, and that seems to carry some weight with the ladies of the Bronx.

Quote #5

CLARA: You mustn't feel too harshly against her daughter-in-law. She also wants to have a house to clean and a family to cook for.

Clara's playing devil's advocate without meaning to: She doesn't understand that in this Italian-American family, the older generation is always right.

Quote #6

TERESA: What kinda family she come from? There was something about her I didn't like. It seems funny, the first time you meet her, she comes to your empty house alone. These college girls, they all one step from the streets.

The unknown is feared, and the known is complained about.
