aic quotations (act 1)

The lighting is pink and intimate till the Inspector arrives

then it becomes brighter and harder

And to that I say - fiddlesticks!

The Germans don't want war!

The Titanic is unsinkable

absolutely unsinkable

There'll be peace and prosperity

and rapid progress everywhere

I'm talking as a hard-headed

practical man of business

As if we were all mixed up together likes bees in a hive -

community and all that nonsense

A chain of events

Still

Why shouldn't they try for higher wages?

We try for the highest possible prices

But these girls aren't cheap labour

- they're people

we're respectable citizens and not criminals.

Sometimes there isn't as much difference as you think

So I'm really responsible?

It was my own fault.

(laughs rather hysterically) Why - you fool - he knows. Of course he knows.

And I hate to think how much he knows that we don't know yet. You'll see. You'll see.
