"[last lines] Renato Amoroso: I pedaled as fast as I could... as if I were escaping from longing, from innocence, from her. Time has passed, and I have loved many women. And as they've held me close... and asked if I will remember them I've said, "Yes, I will remember you." But the only one I've never forgotten is the one who never asked... Malena."
"Renato Amoroso: From now on, I'll be at your side. Forever, I promise. Just give me time to grow up."
