- Vinci - Police Chief: [speaking about the paper news editor Mino Cattani] He does enough travelling to rival Kissinger.
- Commander of the Carabinieri: But why? Do you think that he's also...
- Vinci - Police Chief: No, no, he's like the Princess, not guilty of anything. Just wants it all put to rest, forever.
- Cameriera: [speaking about Claude Jade] I'll tell her to pass by the police station, if you want.
- Vinci - Police Chief: No, there's no need. I'll come back later. You don't happen to know where I can find her?
- Cameriera: No, I come to clean her room but I never see her. I don't know what she does or where she goes. She stays out every night as well. I know she's French but can't she do it in her own country?
- Vinci - Police Chief: Looking for the truth and not finding it is not a failure. I wouldn't be a cop otherwise. What really makes me mad is knowing the truth, having it all within reach, but not having the proof. That's the real failure.
- Commander of the Carabinieri: A judge once said that in a democracy... It's better that ten guilty men go free than one innocent man to prison. That was what he said.
- Vinci - Police Chief: So, in our case, democracy is saved.
