• Pautasso : [Crashing through the door of Arro's shack]  This is where you live?

  Arro : Did you expect a royal palace?

  Arro's wife : [Frightened]  Salvatore, what do they want?

• Raoul : [Referring to an elderly worker whose hand was mangled]  How is he?

  Pautasso : [Laconically]  Hands don't grow back.

• Pautasso : Swear you won't work if we don't authorize it.

  Arro : Are you going to authorize it?

  Pautasso : Swear first!

  Arro : I swear, Mr. Pautasso.

• Martinetti : We'll form a committee, decide who'll speak to them.

  Pautasso : Good! I'll be the leader.

  Martinetti : No, we're all equal. You, him...

  Cesarina : And me!

  Pautasso : Women? Look, this is serious.

  Adele : Oh, so we can work, contribute to collections, but we have no rights?

• Professor Sinigaglia : Excuse me. What town is this?

  Pautasso : A shitty town.

  Martinetti : What an answer! It's Porta Susa, Turin.

• Pautasso : Show of hands for a full strike! Approved "humanimously."

• Cesarina : Sir, let's talk man to man. We can't go back to our colleagues with a consolation prize.

  Manager : Look here. Look here. If you call my offer a consolation prize, this becomes a whole other matter. I know what's happened. You've let that vagrant get you stirred up. He's a rabble-rouser and a fugitive from justice!

  Pautasso : That's not true, sir.

  Manager : Look, you whiners, you know how many unemployed there are around here? Skilled workers like you, willing to work under worse conditions.
