Carlotta Terranova and Vinnie Terranova in “The Prodigal Son”

[Vinnie has shown her his official ID, proving that he's not a criminal] Why didn't you tell me you work for the government?

I wasn't allowed to. I thought the rules were more important than anything, but I learned that they're not.

Two years! I've prayed for this! My prayers have been... [she suddenly looks sad] Oh, but what I've done to you, figlio mio. Oh Vincenzo, can you forgive me?

For what?

For not believing in you.

Oh, no, no, you're my son... no matter what they said I should have believed in you. I'm sorry.

I took something away from you that no one can ever give you back... that's two years out of your life. I shamed you, in front of your friends, la famiglia...

It doesn't matter what they think. All that matters is that I know the truth!
