She took the Lord's name in vain and bounced a check at the liquor store.. It seems like she's going to get away with it until the priest (who knows her by name!) says "But... what was that second thing you said, Loretta?"
A wolf. She tells him that the loss of his hand was deliberate; he cut off his hand to escape marrying the wrong woman, just as a wolf chews off its paw to escape a trap. (the original title of the film was supposed to be "The Wolf and the Bride".)
Brings plates of food to his dogs.. As he is about to bring a second plate to the dogs, Rose warns him "Old man, you give those dogs another piece of my food, I'm gonna kick you 'til you're dead!"

A sugar cube. This seems to be a Castorini family tradition.

Vicki Carr. The song is "It Must be Him". The refrain, which Cosmo keeps singing along with, is "And I shall die".
| Watching the plane take off, Loretta is approached by an old Sicilian woman, whose sister is on the plane returning to Sicily. What does this woman tell her about the plane? | For "Moonstruck" Mavens
|
She has put a curse on it.. The woman's sister had stolen her man years before and had just told her that she never loved him and had done it for spite ("to be strong on me"). When Loretta says she doesn't believe in curses, the woman replies "Eh! Neither do I."
| After the proposal, Loretta takes Johnny to the airport and sees him onto the plane to Sicily to visit his dying mother. Where in Sicily is he going? | For "Moonstruck" Mavens
|
Palermo. She gives him gum for the plane, because it "opens up your ears"

|
His pinky ring. Loretta says yes, even though she has practically had to beg him to get down on his knees ("this is a new suit!") and give her the ring("I like this ring!"). Personally, I agree with her father's characterization of him as "a big baby!"
A funeral home. Loretta, a widowed accountant, is trying to do the income taxes for the funeral home; she complains because the director never keeps track of his receipts.
Rose Castorini (Olympia Dukakis). Lorreta's mother Rose confronts Loretta as she enters the kitchen after she has stayed out all night (she was sleeping with her finance's brother Ronny after going to the opera). Rose tells Loretta her fiancee Johnny has returned unexpectedly from Palermo, and Loretta is thrown into a panic!
Grandpa Castorini (Feodor Chaliapin, Jr.). Grandpa Castorini takes his five dogs out for a walk to a local cemetery and meets some other elderly men (one of their friends has just been buried). One of the men asks if Grandpa had seen the beautiful full moon the night before, and he replies with this quote.
Loretta Castorini (Cher). After Loretta has stayed out all night (she was sleeping with her finance's brother Ronny after going to the opera), her mother Rose confronts her as she returns home the next day and enters the kitchen. Rose tells Loretta her fiancée Johnny has returned unexpectedly from Palermo, and Loretta is suddenly electrified. She says "What? He's in Sicily!" When Rose says "No more he's not" and then, "She recovered" and then "It was a miracle." Loretta replies with this quote.
