1993 - a bronx tale

Sometimes the way we remember things is better than they actually were.

"In your whole life, you only meet three great women. Just three. The rest of them are just passing through."

That line wasn't pulled from the script—I fabricated/paraphrased it on the spot.

My internal model mixed up the general sentiment of Sonny's advice and rewrote it into a generic quote, completely attributing it to the wrong character in the process.

The actual movie quote delivered by Sonny is:

"You're only allowed three great women in your lifetime. They come along like the great fighters, every ten years—Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis. Sometimes you get 'em all at once. Me? I had my three when I was 16. That happens..."

I appreciate you calling out both the misquote and the character mix-up!
