Sol Madrid (1968)

Rip Torn: Dano Villanova

Quotes 

• Capo Riccione : In my day a man like Mitchell would already lie stinking in the sun. Tell us, why a man like Mitchell, a "Mitchell," can know so much about our affairs? There is not a dollar that comes from heroin, whores, horses or protection that he hasn't handled, hasn't counted. He knows every name, every face, every business of everyone in the family. And what your family would not trust to their *blood*, they trusted to Mitchell. Where is he?

  Dano Villanova : He'll be found, Capo.

• Dano Villanova : I kept wondering what it was about our relationship that went wrong. You didn't feel I loved you? A woman needs love, doesn't she, Stacey? Didn't you ever wonder why I didn't love you? A woman has to be lovable before she can be loved. You're a desirable woman, nobody's ever denied that. But you're not lovable. And you know why you're not, baby? Because you're too independent. It's not good for a woman to be too independent - they're not *feminine* that way.

• Dano Villanova : My wandering baby. She runs away and doesn't even leave me a goodbye note.

• Dano Villanova : Hey, baby. Stacey, you're not taking care of your looks. You don't want to lose those. That's all you got left in the world. You got to use those looks to buy the junk!

• Dano Villanova : A woman has to learn to: need. Have you ever learned to need anything? Or anyone, baby? You know, that's the secret to being a woman. I know a lot about women. That's my business. And being a woman means: needing. Now, you've never - needed anything, pretty one. I'm gonna do you a favor, baby. I'm gonna give you a need.
