"I can't lie in front of His Holiness," Benigni pretended, "don't make me lie in front of the Pope, because later, when I die, I'll be standing there with St Peter and he'll say to me: 'Oh, Benigni, you lied in front of the Pope. Oh, now I have to send you to hell or purgatory: 50 years! Mamma mia! What a shock!'"
"But I always think that when I die I'll be standing at the gates of heaven with St Peter waiting to judge me, and I always hope he'll give me a scape and let me go: Benigni, don't make me think again - go! I always hope so".
"But you all, don't be afraid, because there is no hell, no purgatory. There is only heaven, where you are now, the realm of childhood, of youth, full of dreams".
