In honor of David Tennant....
Giacomo Casanova: I'm a spy.
Grimani: How d'you mean a spy?
Giacomo Casanova: A spy. I spy. That's me, the spy. Of course, being a spy I really shouldn't say I'm a spy or I'm spied by a spy.
Grimani: I suppose you can prove it?
Giacomo Casanova: What? You want me to spy on something? Um, look, there's a canal, I spied it. Look, it's still there. Ooh, and again.
Giacomo Casanova: As they say in these parts, 'ta'.
Henriette: The man of parts.
Giacomo Casanova: Many parts.
Henriette: Is that how you win over the ladies? Cheap innuendo?
Giacomo Casanova: No, you just make all my best lines rubbish.
Giacomo Casanova: This blessed plot, this sceptred isle, this England. What do you think?
Rocco: Bloody freezing.
Giacomo Casanova: Yeah that's one thing, what else? Jack - anything? Anything, Jack? Then pay attention both of you, English lesson. The currency's different here, they spend guinea's. Scratching in public is forbidden, that's for you Rocko. But not that - look over there, observe.
Rocco: That's disgusting.
Giacomo Casanova: Uh, that's England. They don't piss in doorways like we do, they do it right out in the open.
Rocco: These English are crazy.
Giacomo Casanova: And the food tastes different. I'm told the milk is terrible. Oh! And a lot of the men are homosexual... that might have something to do with the milk... might not.
Grimani: How can the church maintain its authority when the language itself is beyond reason? For example; in the Latin, can anyone explain to me why the word for vagina is masculine and the word for penis feminine, he had no answer.
Giacomo Casanova: Well I suppose you could say it's because the slave always takes its name from the master.
Rocco: Its all bollocks that stuff.
Giacomo Casanova: Ah, but since you were born under the sign of a ram, with you're tangent in the ascendant, I knew you were going to say that.
Rocco: Very funny.
Giacomo Casanova: And that.
Rocco: You can't just...
Giacomo Casanova: And that.
Rocco: Don't you...
Giacomo Casanova: And that.
Rocco: It's not...
Giacomo Casanova: And.
Rocco: If you...
Giacomo Casanova: And!...
Giacomo Casanova: Why the disguise?
Bellino: I was penniless.
Giacomo Casanova: I've been penniless, I didn't change sex. Well... there was one night, but I was VERY drunk...
Giacomo Casanova: Do you know what 'Casanova' means in the original Latin?
Bellino: No.
Giacomo Casanova: It means 'lucky bastard'.
[Grimani meets Casanova at a second party]
Grimani: Oh, it's that man again.
Giacomo Casanova: Are you following me? People'll talk.
French Nobleman: Wait a minute! Did you say Casanova? The man who escaped from prison? Climbed over the roof?
Giacomo Casanova: That's me.
French Nobleman: Oh, sweet lord! You're famous!
That is all!....
Grimani: How d'you mean a spy?
Giacomo Casanova: A spy. I spy. That's me, the spy. Of course, being a spy I really shouldn't say I'm a spy or I'm spied by a spy.
