Dialogue
[edit]- Evelyn Heath: You make her very beautiful.
- Douglas Proctor: I had a lot to start with. Until I found her I had to use two different models.
- Evelyn Heath: How do you mean?
- Douglas Proctor: One from the neck down and one from the neck up, but Miriam's got it both ways.
- Miriam: I didn't know you cared darling.
- Ann Proctor: That's a cheap chamber maid trick and I won't stand for it.
- Hilda: If you would just let me go please ma'am.
- Ann Proctor: I'll let you go for good if I catch you doing a thing like that again.
- Evelyn Heath: You always feel the sea out their. Rough and cruel and mean.
- Aunt Martha: Well, in Winter it is.
- Evelyn Heath: I like it that way though.
- Evelyn Heath: I know what you're trying to do, you want to get me away from Douglas. He comes to me when you've driven him half-crazy. You hate me, don't you? You're jealous.
- Ann Proctor: Jealous--of you?
- Evelyn Heath: Yes. You're sending me away because you're jealous of me!
- Ann Proctor: Why should I be jealous?
- Evelyn Heath: Because he prefers me to you, because you've lost him.
- Ann Proctor: You nasty little fool, you're in love with my husband.
- Ann Proctor: You're a little monster! You're going to get out of this house tonight!
- Evelyn Heath: I bet I don't.
- Evelyn Heath: You can paint me and my love for you. You made me strong so I could be like this.
- Douglas Proctor: Little Saint Cecilia... no wonder I couldn't paint a saint.
- Aunt Martha: How can you do this to him? You can't really love him.
- Evelyn Heath: It's odd how sure you can be of today and so unsure of tomorrow. Today I love him very much. You'll be lonely for a while but you'll get used to it. I've been lonely all my life. Only one thing I regret, I would've liked this house, quite pretty for a little one.
