Kate

-
'Strop that, Bert. Go home [...] there is no jail here'
-
'That's why there's God. Otherwise anything could happen. But there's God, so certain things can never happen'
-
'As long as you live, that boy is alive. God does not let a son be killed by his father'
-
'You don't hate us, George, I know you, you cant fool me, I diapered you'
Very sly, very manipulative, magnetic maternal power successfully coaxes George into forgetting
-
'She thinks of him!'
About Ann, she's maintaining a certain reality
'The night he gets into your bed, his heart will dry up. Because he knows and you know. To his dying day he'll wait for his brother'
Kate wants the memory of the past to live on even if it means destroying the potentiality of the future, she cant have a life without hope
'Larry isn't dead, because if he is your father killed him'
[Mother sits in a chair downstage, stiffly, staring, seeing'
Keller
-
-
Keller is an example of the American Dream gone right, he has afforded a good life at the expense of innocents
-
'In my day, either you were a lawyer, or a doctor, or you worked in a shop. Now-'
Reflects on the simplicity of the past, more modern jobs reflect optimistic views, Joe had to work hard
'I owe him a good kick in the teeth, but he's your father'
Ironic because it is Joe who deserves it and not Steve, he values the importance of the role of father - to be respected by their children (he wants this for himself)
-
-
'I'm his father and he's my son, and if there's something bigger than that I'll put a bullet in my head!'
Foreshadowing Keller's later suicide, wants some kind of loyalty in return
Ann

-
'That's a funny thing to say, how could I help remembering him?'
-

Chris
-
-
'I know you're no worse than most men but I thought you were better. I never saw you as a man. I saw you as my father'
More emphasis on the role of father, said by Chris who is dissapointed
'I felt wrong to be alive, to open the bank-book to drive the new car'
Chris is suffering from survivors guilt, he is disgusted by peoples materialism
