Heavy looking, rather portentous man, I can't accept any responsibility, Just a knighthood of course, As if we were mixed up like bees in a hive - community and all that nonsense, There's every excuse for what both your mother and I did, If you don't come down hard on these people, they'll soon be asking for the earth, A man has to mind his own buisness and look out for himself and his own, Look - Mummy - isn't it a beauty, I went to the manager and told him that the girl had been very impertinent - and - and -, But these girls aren't just cheap labour, they're people, [miserably] So I'm really responsible?, You mustn't try to build up a kind of wall between us and that girl, Mother, I think that was cruel and vile, [passionately] You're pretending everything's just as it was before, A rather cruel woman and her husband's social superior, Girls of that class, As if a girl of that sort would ever refuse money!, I did nothing I'm ashamed of, Go and look for the father of the child. It's his responsibility., [triumphantly] Didn't I tell you? Didn't I say I couldn't imagine a real police inspector talking to us like that?, When you're married you'll realise that men with important work to do sometimes have to spend nearly all their time and energy on their business, Not quite at ease. Half shy, half assertive, Why shouldn't they try for higher wages? We try for the highest possible prices?, Well I was in that state when a chap easily turns nasty - and I threatened to make a row, I wasn't in love with her or anything - but I liked her - she was pretty and a good sport, You're not the kind a father a chap could go to when he's in trouble, Then - you killed her ... you killed her - and the child she'd have had too - my child - your own grandchild - you killed them both - damn you, damn you, And I agree with Sheila. It frightens me too, Easy well-bred young man-about-town, She was young and pretty and warm-hearted - and intensely grateful. I became at once the most important person in her life, Everything's alright now Sheila. What about this ring?, I don't come into this suicide business, [distressed] Sorry - I - well, I've suddenly realised - taken in properly - that she's dead, That man wasn't a police officer ... I'm almost certain, I did keep a girl last summer. I've admitted it. And I'm sorry Sheila, The lighting should be pink and intimate until the Inspector arrives then it should be brighter and harder, Public men, Mr Birling, have responsibilities as well as privileges, (the young ones) are the most impressionable, It is better to ask for the earth than to take it, There are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, Each of you helped to kill her. Remember that. Never forget it, If men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish, A young woman died in the infirmary. She'd swallowed a lot of strong disinfectant. Burnt her inside out, of course, Just used her for the end of a drunken evening, as if she was an animal, a thing, not a person, She had a lot to say - far too much - so she had to go, A good worker too, There are a lot of young women living that sort of existence in every city and big town in this country, We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for eachother,
