Inspector Goole

• "And you think young women ought to be protected against unpleasant and disturbing things?"
• "Well we know one young woman who wasn't, don't we?"
• "We have to share something. If there's nothing else, we'll have to share our guilt"
• "We often do the young ones. They're more impressionable"
• "No, he's a young man and some young men drink far too much"
• "You needn't give me any rope"
• "And then you decided to keep her - as your mistress?"
• "She was a woman. She was lonely. Were you in love with her"
• "(turning on him sharply) Why would you do any protesting? It was you who turned the girl out in the first place"
• "Of course she might have changed lately, but I can't believe she could have changed so much"
• "You mean you don't choose to do, Mrs Birling"
• "Public men, Mr Birling, have responsibilities as well as privileges"
• "(severely) Do you want me to tell you - in plain words"
• "Was it owing to your influence, as the most prominent member of the committee, that help was refused the girl?"
• "I think you did something terribly wrong - and that you're going to spend the rest of your life regretting it"
• "And you not only refused it but you saw to it that the others refused it too"
• "She was here alone, friendless, almost penniless, desperate"
• "Don't stammer and yammer at me again, man. I'm loosing all patience with you people"
• "(sternly) I warn you, you're making it worse for yourself"
• "She'd come to you for assistance because she didn't want to take stolen money"
• "You're not even sorry now, when you know what happened to the girl"
• "(grimly) Don't worry Mrs Birling. I shall do my duty"
