“Get out of here! Go back to Rome. You're young and the world is...” – Alfredo, Nuovo cinema Paradiso ... Movie Quotes Database

Alfredo

Get out of here! Go back to Rome. You're young and the world is yours. I'm old. I don't want to hear you talk anymore. I want to hear others talking about you. Don't come back. Don't think about us. Don't look back. Don't write. Don't give in to nostalgia. Forget us all. If you do and you come back, don't come see me. I won't let you in my house. Understand?

Salvatore

Thank you. For everything you've done for me.

Alfredo

Whatever you end up doing, love it. The way you loved the projection booth when you were a little squirt

So you might as well shut up. Alfredo Progress always comes too late. Salvatore After all these years, I thought I was stronger, that I'd forgotten a lot of things. But, in fact, I find I'm right back where I was, as if I'd never been away.
