Arthur Birling
Unsinkable absolutely unsinkable
All mixed up together like bees in a hive
I cant accept any responsibility
Is there any reason why my wife should answer your questions
Not the kind of father a chap could go to when he’s in trouble
The famous younger generation
Sheila Birling
I wish you hadn’t told me
These girls aren’t cheap labour, they’re people
I’ll never do it again
It frightens me the way you talk
I suppose were all nice people now
Gerald Croft
I was awfully busy at the works
I’ll make you as happy as you deserve
I at once became the most important person in her life
I insisted on a parting gift
suddenly realised - taken it in properly - that shes dead
Ive admitted it and I’m sorry Sheila
Sybil Birling
[her husbands social superior]
Youll have to get used to that
Girls of that class-
I blame the … father of the child
Naturally that was one of the things that prejudiced me
In the morning you’ll be just as amused as we are
Eric Birling
Why shouldn’t they try for higher wages
That state when a chap easily turns nasty
You’re beginning to pretend nothing much has happened
My god - im not likely to forget
Not the kind of father a chap could go to when hes in trouble
The fact remains i did what i did
The Inspector
[cutting through massively]
We are members of one body
There are millions and millions of Eva smiths and John smiths
they will be taught in blood and fire and anguish
[bitterly] I suppose were all nice people now
There is no inspector goole
Responsibility
If you don’t come down hard on these people they’d soon be asking for the Earth
I’m desperately sorry
Suddenly realised - taken it in properly - that she’s dead
Look for the father of the child its his responsibility
You’re beginning to pretend nothing much has happened
We are members of one body
Age
Not the kind of father a chap could go to when he’s in trouble
The famous younger generation
Run along Sheila
You’re not the type, you don’t get drunk
Your beginning to pretend nothing much has happened
They will be just as amused as we are
Gender
Is there any reason why my wife should answer your questions
You’ll have to get used to that
Go into the drawing room and leave you men
You ought to go to bed
Something to make ‘em look prettier
These girls aren’t cheap labour, they’re people
Social Status
I was an alderman for years
These girls aren’t cheap labour, they’re people
Lady Croft feels you might have done better for yourself socially
[her husbands social superior]
Used her… as if she was an animal
Public men… have responsibilities as well as privileges
Capitalism vs Socialism
Working together for lower costs and higher prices
Community and all that nonsense
She seemed to be not a good cause
We must share our guilt
Fire and blood and anguish
Lonely, half starved, she was desperate
Lies and Secrecy
I was awfully busy at the works
Why should I (recognise Eva)
I stole some money
[bitterly] I suppose were all nice people now
The least you can do is keep quiet
There is no inspector Goole
