"Five Characters in Search of an Exit."
The Clown
The Clown: [
of the Major] Very active chap. Quite a function. Compulsive worker.
The Major: [
still tapping the wall] You a big-time psychologist, huh?
The Clown: I'm a clown. It's neither here, there, nor anyplace... I could be a certified public accountant, a financier, a left-handed pitcher who throws only curves... What difference does it make?
[
singing to the tune of "Awld Lang Syne" while the Major pounds the wall]
The Clown: We're here, because we're here, because we're h -
[
breaks off as the Major turns to stare at him, then brokenly starts up again as he resumes hammering]
The Clown: Because - we're - here...
"Time Enough to Last"
Henry Bemis
Henry Bemis: And the best thing, the very best thing of all, is there's time now... there's all the time I need and all the time I want. Time, time, time. There's time enough at last.
[
goes to pick up a book, but in doing so his glasses fall off and break. He slowly raises his glasses to his face, seeing they are completely broken]
Henry Bemis: That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. There was, was all the time I needed...
"Eye of the Beholder"
Nurse One: You ever see her face? Patient 307?
Nurse Two: Indeed I have. If it was mine, I'd bury myself in a grave somewhere.
Janet Tyler: Mr. Smith?
Walter Smith: Yes?
Janet Tyler: Why do we have to look like this?
Walter Smith: I don't know, Miss Tyler. I really don't know. But you know something? It doesn't matter. There's an old saying. A very, very old saying. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." When we leave here, when we go to the village, try to think of that, Miss Tyler. Say it over and over to yourself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Come on now. We'll get your things and we'll leave.
"The Masks"
(my personal favorite)
Emily Harper: [
of the Mardi Gras masks he's presented them with] Father, you don't mean - we have to WEAR these ugly things...?
Jason Foster: Only for a few hours. Only 'til the unmasking at midnight.
Paula Harper: Well, I won't wear mine.
Wilfred Harper, Jr.: Me neither; it's stupid.
Wilfred Harper: Well, Father, it seems we're somewhat at odds here.
Jason Foster: Not really, Wilfred. You all came here for one purpose: to watch me go and cry "Bon voyage". To put coins on my closed eyes and with your free hands start grabbing things from my shelves.
Emily Harper: Father, that's cruel.
Jason Foster: That's truth. You've come to reap everything I've sown, to collect everything I've built. Well, I shall not disappoint you. Everything is yours. Everything is prepared, the will isi made; the four of you inherit everything I own. Everything... money, house, property holding, stocks, bonds, everything.
Wilfred Harper: Father, you're breaking our *hearts*.
Jason Foster: Well, that's the most touching thing you ever dredged up by way of conversation, Wilfred... But, I must include this adenda, this small proviso: you shall wear your masks until midnight. If any one of you should take them off, from my estate you shall each receive train-fare back to Boston and *that's it*!
Wilfred Harper: Well, we won't be spoilsports. If this is your pleasure, Father, we'll indulge you!
[
slowly, they all don the masks]
Jason Foster: [
dying] ... It's what you've all been waiting for, I believe. Now you can dig deep in the treasury.
Emily Harper: Are you feeling - weaker, Father?
Jason Foster: At last... a note of hope in your voice, Emily?
Emily Harper: Father, why must you always say such miserable, cruel things to me?
Wilfred Harper: I quite agree, Father!
Jason Foster: Why indeed, Emily, because you're cruel and miserable people! Because none of you *respond* to love. Emily responds only to what her petty hungers dictate. Wilfred responds only to things that have weight and bulk and value! He FEELS books, he doesn't read them! He APPRAISES paintings, he doesn't seek out their truth or their beauty! And Paula there lives in a mirror; the world is nothing more to her than a reflection of herself. And her brother... Humanity to him is a small animal, caught in a trap, to be tormented! His pleasure is the giving of pain, and from this he receives the same sense of fulfillment most human beings get from a kiss or an embrace! You're CARICATURES, ALL of you! Without your masks, you're CARICATURES!
That last one jaz hasnt seen yet...but there is still time!!!
We need more quotes anyways!!!
