- Rose: "Do you love him?"
- Loretta: "No. But I like him. He's a good man."
- Rose: "Good. 'Cause when you love 'em, they drive you crazy, because they know they can."
Johnny calls Loretta from Palermo and says that he wants her to talk his younger brother, Ronny (Nicolas Cage) into coming to the wedding. At first, Ronny was resistant to Loretta's demands in coming to the wedding, but for some reason after she cooked him a good meal, the two ended up in bed together. They woke up later and Loretta felt ashamed of herself. She said she could never see Ronny again until the wedding, but Ronny was instantly hooked and Loretta too in her own way.

After feeling bad for betraying her fiance, Loretta goes to church and sees her mother Rose praying. Rose indicates to Loretta that Cosmo might be cheating on her. Ronny decides to woo Loretta by taking her to the opera later that day. Loretta dyes her hair and gets a beautiful dress. At the opera, after feeling the love she and Ronny share, Loretta sees her father with another woman. Loretta tells her father to give her up. He says he is a grown man, but later on Rose confronts Cosmo and tells him to give the other woman up. Upset, Loretta and Ronny have an emotional encounter under the full moon and they end up spending the night together.
Later that night at the Castorini house, Johnny has arrived back from Palermo. His mother has made a miraculous recovery and he has something important to tell Loretta. Loretta shows up the next morning with love bites on her neck and is shocked that Johnny has returned. Ronny arrives at the house to confront his brother that he is in love with Loretta. Johnny, however, is the first to shock the whole family by telling Loretta that he can't marry her. Even though upset, Loretta is relieved because that was the opportunity to Ronny to prove his love for Loretta to Johnny and rest the family by proposing. Very much in love with him, Loretta accepts and the whole family toast to "La familia!".
