THE GREAT COMET STARTERS (ACT ONE)
“There’s a war going on out there somewhere.”
“He spends his money on women and wine.”
“The war can’t touch us here.”
“___’s family– totally messed up.”
“It’s dawned on me suddenly, and for no obvious reason, that I can’t go on living as I am.”
“I used to be better.”
“Right now my friend fights and bleeds while I sit home and read.”
“I never thought that I’d end up like this.”
“The women, they all pity me ‘cause I’m married but not in love.”
“How beautiful you looked in the show.”
“He loves me only. He’ll come home one day and take me away. I want nothing more.”
“How wonderful to have you here instead of these gossips and crybabies.”
“He’ll be the family’s saving grace.”
“I never go anywhere, I’m never invited.”
“I don’t have any friends. All my friends are dead.”
“It’s my money and I’ll throw it where I want.”
“I know they’ll like me. They can’t help but like me. Everybody always likes me.”
“How can anyone sleep?”
“No, I am enjoying myself at home this evening.”
“There’s a woman one should stay far away from.”
“He’s handsome up close as at a distance.”
“Gonna drink tonight, gonna drink tonight!”
“The doctors warned me that with my corpulence, vodka and wine are dangerous for me.”
“Keep drinking, old man.”
“God has made me as I am. All I care for is gaiety and women and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“How dare you touch her! You can’t love her!”
“So I shall be killed! What is it to you?”
“Just tell me where to go and tell me where to shoot.”
“Is this how I die? Furious and reckless, sick with booze?”
“They say we are asleep until we fall in love.”
“Don’t let me die while I’m like this.”
“She’s first-rate, my dear, but she’s not for you. Just wait ‘till she’s married.”
“I can’t bear to think of it. I’ll shut myself in my room and try on new dresses.”
“My brother is quite madly in love. He is quite madly in love with you, my dear.”
“I don’t know good from bad.”
“Don’t speak to me of that when I tell you that I am madly, madly in love with you.”
