    • 2020, Masterchef Italia, season 9, episode 13, spoken by Giada Meloni:
      Io con una persona come Nicolò non starei mai. Ma perché siamo due asciugoni. Allora, io parlo e non mi fermo; quello pensa, pensa di aver ragione — cioè siamo identici, e io con una persona come me non starei.
      I would never be [in a relationship] with a person like Nicolò. But because we're two blabbermouths. So, I drone on and I can't help it; he thinks, thinks that he's always right — I mean, we are identical, and I would never be [in a relationship] with a person like me.
