FATHER: Liam! You�ll do as I say.

LIAM: (to his little sister) Sweet Kathy. No tears. We�ll meet again.

FATHER: Defy me now, you won�t. Not as long as I live.

LIAM: You�ll want to move away from the door now, Father.

FATHER: Go through it, but don�t ever expect to come back.

LIAM: As you wish, father. Always, *just* as you wish.

FATHER: It�s a son I wished for! A man! Instead God gave me you. A terrible disappointment.

LIAM: Disappointment? A more dutiful son you couldn�t have asked for. My whole life you told me in word, in glance, what it is you required of me, and I�ve lived down to your every expectations, now haven�t I?

FATHER: That�s madness!

LIAM: No. The madness is that I couldn�t fail enough for you. But we�ll fix that now, won�t we?

FATHER: I fear for you, lad.

LIAM: And is *that* the only thing you can find in your heart for me now, Father?

FATHER: Who�ll take you in, huh? No one!

LIAM: I�ll not lack for a place to sleep, I can tell you that. Out of my way.

FATHER: I was never in your way, boy.

(Angel opens the door and storms out. )

FATHER: If you go courting trouble, you�re sure to find it!

(Slams the door. )
