Critique of Selfish Behavior and Relationships
Felicia Karpf Oh god, Lester you are a miserable human being. You're not helping anybody! You're just twisting arms here for a lot of silly sons of bitches who are all out for themselves. You're kidding yourself if you think your new business partner is going to keep his hands off your girl. Or if she's going to keep her hands off of him!
Confronting the Dark Truth of Danger
Ann Thorn You can't make me believe it.
Richard Thorn You've got to believe it. He killed Mark. He killed Atherton and Pasarian.
Ann What are you talking about?
Richard And he'll keep on killing. He'll kill anyone he thinks is threatening him!
Ann How? How did he kill them? Did he make the ice crack?
Richard Not himself.
Ann Did he pull the gas pipe apart? Did he?
Richard There are others. Surrounding him, helping him, keeping him safe.
Ann Richard, listen to yourself! Listen to how crazy you sound! Others! Devils! A conspiracy of devils? Richard, please!
Richard Ann, I saw Charles killed! I saw Damien's face on the Wall!
Ann What are you going to do? Richard? What are you doing?
Richard The daggers have to be here somewhere.
Ann What do you want them for? No. No!
Richard He's not human!
Ann He's your brother's son. He's a boy you've loved for seven years!
Richard The boy has got to die!
Ann Richard! For me, Richard, don't.
Richard Ann, what are you doing? Get away from that drawer!
Ann What you want to do is crazy. I can't let you!
Richard Ann!
Ann You're obsessed with Damien. It's making you sick.
Richard Give me the daggers.
Ann There are your daggers!
Richard Ann?
Ann I've always belonged to him.
Party Conversations on Social Responsibility
Lester Karpf Felicia, this party involves more than you and me, you know. These people here are concerned about more than each other.
Felicia Karpf Is that right?
Lester Karpf Yes! That's right. Some of us are trying to make this country be a better place to live in. Believe it or not.
Felicia Karpf Is that what this is all about? To make this country a better place to live in?
Lester Karpf Yes, that's what this is all about. It's a beautiful thing to see.
Investing in Cattle and Its Consequences
Lena Foster What did you finally invest in, Mr. Miller, do you remember?
Daniel Miller Um, uh... cattle.
[under his breath]
Lena Foster And what happened to the cattle?
Daniel Miller I don't know; I never got a straight answer. All I know is that their teeth fell out.
Questioning George's Sexuality in Shampoo
Lester Karpf Do you think George is a fairy?
Felicia Karpf Who?
Lester Karpf The kid, the hairdresser.
Felicia Karpf Well, I don't know for sure. He is a hairdresser, though.
Lester Karpf Maybe he's just a kooky guy who likes to do kooky things.
Felicia Karpf Maybe. Why do you ask?
Lester Karpf I'm thinking of investing with him. He worries me.
Felicia Karpf Why?
Lester Karpf Well, maybe he's too flighty and irresponsible. That's why I asked if he was a fairy.
Felicia I don't know. He's a hairdresser.
The Complexity of Truth and Trust
Bob Diamond Did we ever stop to think that this young boy had a bond with his father? I don't think it had anything to do with the friend. I just think Daniel couldn't lie to his dad. That's all.
Lena Foster You're nodding, Mr. Miller. Does that mean you agree with Mr. Diamond?
Daniel Miller Oh, yes. I had a bond with my father. I pretty much never lied to him.
Lena Foster You never lied to your father? Would you like me to show you at least 500 examples?
Daniel Miller I said "pretty much" never lied. I didn't say I never, ever lied. You have to lie sometimes... in an emergency. But, ah, it doesn't mean the bond is affected. If you've got the bond, the bond is always there, and if you have to lie occasionally you're not going to interfere with the bond. You know, the bond can wait for a little lie and... in the end it's there for you. You know, sometimes in the middle of a lie I found that the bond would kick in... maybe squeeze a little truth out.
Bob Diamond Psst, wrap it up.
Daniel Miller I'm through.
