Cozzens makes the most of these moments, endowing Dysart with a slightly hostile glare and energetic hands, imbuing his rambling with all the energy of a repressed fancier of a dead society, with a frigid wife and a job whose benefit he begins to doubt.

A round of chuckles, but Carmen Liguori, herself a Naples native, shoots back a glare and asks if Salvatore is suggesting she is over the hill. "I don't care how old you are, Miss, you are one fine-looking woman." He won't quite make the cut, but Salvatore will have plenty to tell when gets back home...
