BELINDA:Your children are a pain in the neck... M A S S I M O: They are mine when they misbehave– B E L I N D A: Which is always. M A S S I M O: And yours when they behave like angels. B E L I N D A: I’ll be old by the time that happens. Billy London
About This Quote

With this quote, we see two elderly people who have been married for many years and have raised children together. Both of the characters seem to be in agreement about who has had more children and who has had the more difficult time caring for their children. The woman, Belinda, seems to be the only one with a daughter who is constantly getting into trouble. She also talks about her age and how she will not live long enough to see her daughter grow up and be an adult.

Massimo, on the other hand, speaks about his daughter’s behavior and how she is always well behaved. He talks about how he hopes that his mother will still be alive when his daughter becomes an adult so that he will have someone to turn to for answers.
