- P.L. O'Hara: There have been times when I was close to death. I knew it... felt it... and what I thought was, "I have a son, and it will not be the end of me." But it is.
- Meredith Potter: Does everybody know everybody? Well, if you don't, you will. And you all know me, or what they say about me, and all of that is true. So the thing is, it's a heavy season, and you're all going to have to work very very hard. But you're all the very best people we could find... for the money.
- Desmond Fairchild: Mr. Potter, I'm having trouble finding my character.
- Meredith Potter: So I've noticed.
- [Turns and leaves]
- Rose: You can't do anything I don't hear about, not on that motorbike.
- [a beat]
- Rose: You won't find her. Not now.
- P.L. O'Hara: I might. And I might find him.
- Rose: How will you know?
- P.L. O'Hara: I'll know. Little chap, stands like me.
- Rose: How's that?
- P.L. O'Hara: Heroical, twice nightly.
- Rose: What'll become of her, Bunny?
- [Shakes the unconscious Stella]
- Rose: What will become of you? If you're lucky, you'll end up like me, at least me. I was as silly as you in a lot of ways, still am. A sickness, my girl, being something else.
- [Looks around the theatre]
- Rose: Came to the right place for it, I'll say that.
- Meredith Potter: [During rehearsal] What do you think the play's about, Stella?
- Stella: [pauses] Love.
- Meredith Potter: I think it's about Time. I think we're all mourners at a funeral procession and that some of us have simply dropped behind to tie a shoelace. Contact with the beloved is suspended, but the dead are still there, so to those who we think we love, just around a dangerous corner, waiting to be caught up with.
