- [Don Camillo sees Peppone off at the train station]
- Don Camillo: I never forgot that you came to salute me when I was going into exile. Now you're leaving.
- Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: I'm not going into exile. I'm going because I won, not because I lost.
- Don Camillo: You lost your wife who voted against you. You lost your town where you were somebody. You won what? The honour of being another face in the crowd, a ball in the urn.
- Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: I will always be what I am.
- Don Camillo: Oh yeah? Well then, when you sit down in that huge sad hall, as if you were in school, then you'll think about everything you left behind. You'll think of what you used to see out your window in the morning while you were shaving; you'll think of your workshop and how you enjoyed tinkering your Sundays away... You'll even think of me, how I'm not there to give you a wallop when you deserve it - which is roughly once a day!
- Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: When I come back I'll crush you to a pulp!
- Don Camillo: But you know you're not coming back! And I can't even say "Goodbye, Peppone"... only "Adieu, Senator".
