Jimmy Porter: You think I did it on purpose?
Alison Porter: Clear out of my sight!
Helena Charles: If you'd stop thinking about yourself for just one moment, I'll tell you something I think you ought to know. You wife is going to have a baby!
[pause]
Helena Charles: Well? Doesn't that mean anything? Even to you?
Jimmy Porter: [pause] If you'd permit me to interrupt your... female wisdom, there's something perhaps you ought to know. I don't care! I don't care if she's going to have a baby. I don't care if it has 2 heads!
[pause]
Jimmy Porter: Well, do I disgust you? Go on, slap my face! I just came back from seeing somebody I love very much go through the sordid process of dying. And you expect me to be overcome with awe because some stupid, cruel girl is going to have a BABY?
[pause]
Jimmy Porter: Now the performance is over. Now leave me alone - and get out, you evil-minded little virgin!
Jimmy Porter: I want to be there when your face is rubbed in the mud. There's nothing else I can hope for any more, there's nothing else I want anymore.
Helena Charles: There's a call for you downstairs.
Jimmy Porter: Can't be anything good.
