Marco Quotes in A View from the Bridge
Listen, they’ll think it’s a millionaire’s house compared to the way they live. Don’t worry about the walls. They’ll be thankful.
That one! I accuse that one!
Alfieri:
To promise not to kill is not dishonorable.
Marco:
No?
Alfieri:
No.
Marco:
Then what is done with such a man.
Alfieri:
Nothing. If he obeys the law, he lives. That’s all.
Marco:
The law? All the law is not in a book.
Alfieri:
Yes. In a book. There is no other law.
Marco:
He degraded my brother. My blood. He robbed my children, he mocks my work. I work to come here, mister!
Alfieri:
I know, Marco—
Marco:
There is no law for that? Where is the law for that?
Alfieri:
There is none.
This is not God, Marco. You hear? Only God makes justice.
I want my name! He didn’t take my name; he’s a punk. Marco’s got my name—and you can run tell him, kid, that he’s gonna give it back to me in front of this neighborhood, or we have it out.
Maybe he come to apologize to me. Heh, Marco? For what you said about me in front of the neighborhood? . . . Wipin’ the neighborhood with my name like a dirty rag! I want my name, Marco.
