Love and Conflict in Unexpected Places
Charley Partanna
I met her in a church. It just happened. I knew she was the woman for me. She'd organized the scam in Vegas. I go looking for the bad guy and it turns out to be my woman, can you imagine this? Not only that - Pop tells me she's the piece man for the Nettabino contract. Just the same, I love her, Mae... I love her.
[about Irene]
Maerose Prizzi
Well...
Charley Partanna
How can I live with this? I gotta do something about it. I gotta straighten it out.
Maerose Prizzi
Then do.
Charley Partanna
Do what? Do I ice her? Do I marry her? Which one of these?
Maerose Prizzi
Marry her, Charley. Just because she's a thief and a hitter doesn't mean she's not a good woman in all the other departments. If she was some kind of fashion model, well it wouldn't last more than thirty days. But you and she is in the same line of business. You are lucky you found each other, you know that, Charley?
Charley Partanna
Yeah, I guess.
Maerose Prizzi
She's an American! She had a chance to make a buck so she grabbed it. Marry her, Charley. Then at least I'll be able to get something out of it... I'll be able to go back in the family.
Charley Partanna
Yeah.
