Jimmy Porter: All right - yes. I am surprised. I give you that. But, tell me. Did you honestly expect me to go all soggy at the knees, and collapse with remorse! Listen, if you’ll stop breathing your female wisdom all over me, I’ll tell you something: I don’t care. I don’t care if she’s going to have a baby. I don’t care if it has two heads! Do I disgust you? Well, go on - slap my face. But remember what I told you before will you? For eleven hours, I have been watching someone I love very much going through the sordid process of dying. She was alone, and I was the only one with her. And when I have to walk behind that coffin on Thursday, I’ll be on my own again. Because that bitch won’t even send her a bunch of flowers - I know! She made the great mistake of all her kind. She thought that because Hugh’s mother was a deprived and ignorant old woman, who said all the wrong things in all the wrong places, she couldn’t be taken seriously. And you think I should be overcome with awe because that cruel, stupid girl is going to have a baby! I can’t believe it! I can’t. Well, the performance is over. Now leave me alone, and get out, you evil-minded little virgin.
