Answer
|
|
Arthur
|
|
heavy looking, rather portentous man in his middle fifties with fairly easy manners but rather provincial in his speech
|
|
Arthur
|
|
You're just the kind of son-in-law I always wanted
|
|
Arthur
|
|
for lower costs and higher prices
|
|
Arthur
|
|
and we're in for a time of steadily increasing prosperity
|
|
Arthur
|
|
fiddlesticks! The Germans don't want war
|
|
Arthur
|
|
unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable
|
|
Arthur
|
|
There'll be peace and prosperity and rapid progress everywhere
|
|
Arthur
|
|
I can't accept any responsibility
|
|
Arthur
|
|
If we were all responsible for everything that happened to everybody we'd had anything to do with, it would be very awkward, wouldn't it?
|
|
Arthur
|
|
it's my duty to keep labour costs down
|
|
Arthur
|
|
If you don't come down sharply on some of these people, they'd soon be asking for the earth
|
|
Arthur
|
|
explosively
|
|
Arthur
|
|
You're the one I blame for this
|
|
Arthur
|
|
There's every excuse for what both your mother and I did
|
|
Arthur
|
|
it matters a devil of a lot
|
|
Arthur
|
|
Probably a Socialist or some sort of crank
|
|
Arthur
|
|
don't stand there being hysterical
|
|
Arthur
|
|
the famous younger generation who know it all. And they can't even take a joke-
|
|
Sheila
|
|
pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited
|
|
Sheila
|
|
except for all last summer, when you never came near me
|
|
Sheila
|
|
You're squiffy
|
|
Sheila
|
|
is it the one you wanted me to have?
|
|
Sheila
|
|
I've been so happy tonight. Oh I wish you hadn't told me
|
|
Sheila
|
|
these girls aren't cheap labour - they're people
|
|
Sheila
|
|
stormily
|
|
Sheila
|
|
laughs rather hysterically
|
|
Sheila
|
|
you fool - he knows. Of course he knows
|
|
Sheila
|
|
wonderingly and dubiously
|
|
Sheila
|
|
You mustn't try to build up a kind of wall between us and that girl. If you do, then the Inspector will just break it down
|
|
Sheila
|
|
No, he's giving us the rope - so that we'll hang ourselves
|
|
Sheila
|
|
You were the wonderful Fairy Prince
|
|
Sheila
|
|
Mother - stop - stop!
|
|
Sheila
|
|
he inspected us all right
|
|
Sheila
|
|
Between us we drove that girl to commit suicide
|
|
Sheila
|
|
If it didn't end tragically, then that's lucky for us
|
|
Sheila
|
|
It frightens me the way you talk
|
|
Sheila
|
|
You began to learn something. And now you've stopped
|
|
Gerald
|
|
an attractive chap about thirty, rather too manly to be a dandy but very much the easy well-bred young man-about-town
|
|
Gerald
|
|
You seem to be a nice well-behaved family
|
|
Gerald
|
|
Unless Eric's been up to something. (Nodding confidentially to Birling.) And that would be awkward wouldn't it?
|
|
Gerald
|
|
we're respectable citizens and not criminals
|
|
Gerald
|
|
She's had a long, exciting and tiring day
|
|
Gerald
|
|
young and pretty and warm-hearted
|
|
Gerald
|
|
it wasn't disgusting
|
|
Gerald
|
|
Everything's all right now, Sheila. [...] What about this ring?
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
a rather cold woman and her husband's social superior
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
Arthur, you're not supposed to say such things
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
Nothing but morbid curiosity
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
That - I consider - is a trifle impertinent, Inspector
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
very sharply
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
I don't think we want any further details of this disgusting affair
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
We've done a great deal of useful work in helping deserving cases
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
simply a piece of gross impertinence - quite deliberate - and naturally that was one of the things that prejudiced me against her case
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
I think she had only herself to blame
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
I did nothing I'm ashamed of or that won't bear investigation
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
She was claiming elaborate fine feelings and scruples that were simply absurd in a girl in her postion
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
I accept no blame for it at all
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
make sure that he's compelled to confess in public his responsibility
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
his manner was quite extraordinary, so - so rude - and assertive-
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
from the way you children talk, you might be wanting to help him instead of us
|
|
Mrs Birling
|
|
They're over-tired
|
|
Eric
|
|
not quite at ease, half shy, half assertive
|
|
Eric
|
|
I was in that state when a chap easily turns nasty - and I threatened to make a row
|
|
Eric
|
|
you're not the kind of father a chap could go to when he's in trouble - that's why
|
|
Eric
|
|
He was our police inspector all right
|
|
Eric
|
|
The girl's still dead, isn't she? Nobody's brought her to life, have they?
|
|
Eric
|
|
I don't see much nonsense about it when a girl goes and kills herself
|
|
Inspector
|
|
he creates at once an impression of massiveness
|
|
Inspector
|
|
plain darkish suit of the period
|
|
Inspector
|
|
He speaks carefully, weightily, and has a disconcerting habit of looking hard at the person he addresses before speaking
|
|
Inspector
|
|
gravely
|
|
Inspector
|
|
it's better to ask for the earth than to take it
|
|
Inspector
|
|
I don't play golf
|
|
Inspector
|
|
cutting in, massively
|
|
Inspector
|
|
Sometimes there isn't as much difference as you think
|
|
Inspector
|
|
And you think young women ought to be protected against unpleasant and disturbing things?
|
|
Inspector
|
|
we have to share something. If there's nothing else, we'll have to share our guilt
|
|
Inspector
|
|
We often do on the young ones. They're more impressionable
|
|
Inspector
|
|
You have no hope of not discussing it, Mrs Birling
|
|
Inspector
|
|
very deliberately
|
|
Inspector
|
|
There'll be plenty of time, when I've gone, for you all to adjust your family relationships
|
|
Inspector
|
|
each of you helped to kill her. Remember that. Never forget it
|
|
Inspector
|
|
Just used her for the end of a stupid drunken evening, as if she was an animal, a thing, not a person
|
|
Inspector
|
|
sardonically
|
|
Inspector
|
|
there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us
|
|
Inspector
|
|
their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives, and what we think and say and do
|
|
Inspector
|
|
We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other
|
|
Inspector
|
|
the time will come soon when, if men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish
|
|
Edna
|
|
Please, sir, an inspector's called
|
|
Other
|
|
the sharp ring of a front door bell
|
|
Other
|
|
The telephone rings sharply
