Actually, that line runs: "Se non è vero, è molto ben trovato"; and roughly
translates as "If it is not true, it is very well invented". There might
indeed be a subtle play on Ben's name in Mafia's allusion to this well-known
saying, which would explain why she is so amused. She's certainly clever
enough, I think, and with that Sartre connection indeed seems to be one of
the intellectual forces of the WSC.
