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. )
