Aldo Vanucci: [as Fabrizi, explaining the concept of his movie] Tony plays 'The Fox'...
Tony Powell: [interrupting] An animal picture!
Aldo Vanucci: No, "The Fox", a master criminal with an ingenious plan to smuggle gold into Italy, and - a surprise ending!
Harry: What's the ingenious plan?
Aldo Vanucci: THAT is the surprise ending.
Tony Powell: I love it! When do we start shooting?

- Victor Mature (as Tony Powell) in After the Fox (1966)

Aldo Vanucci: [the stolen gold is delayed and Fabrizi has to shoot some of his 'neo-realist' film] We are ready for the next shot, only in this scene instead of doing *nothing*, we do *something*.
Tony Powell: [exasperated] What?
Aldo Vanucci: Running, running.
Tony Powell: What are we running from?
Aldo Vanucci: From yourselves. Uh, you get the symbolic meaning?
[Tony shakes his head 'no']
Aldo Vanucci: Aah! No matter how fast you run, you can never run away from yourselves!
Tony Powell: Aahh! Beautiful!

Aldo Vanucci: [to the police chief] In films either you have got a face or you don't got a face. You have got a face.

- Peter Sellers (as Aldo Vanucci) in After the Fox (1966)

Aldo Vanucci: Aagghh! If only I could steal enough to become an honest man!

Aldo Vanucci: Because I am a small crook, I go to prison. It's only the big crooks that go free. Is that justice?
