AIC act 1
Storyboard Tekst
- Now you've brought us together, and perhaps we may look to the time when Crofts and Birlings are no longer competing but are working together...
- Oh- Gerald- you've got it-is it the one you wanted me to have? Now i really feel engaged.
- There's a good deal of silly talk about these days-but and i speak as a hard-headed business man, who has to take risks and know what he's about-I say...there isn't a chance at war. The world's developing so fast that it'll make war impossible...
- What about war?
- Why, a friend of mine went over this new liner last week-The Titanic-she sails next week- and unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable!
- The way some of these cranks talk and write now,you'd think everybody has to look after everyone else, as if we were all mixed up together like bees in a hive-a man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own- and-
- What i wanted to say is-there's a fair chance that i might find a way into the next Honors list. Just a knighthood, of course.
- Oh-i say-Congratulations!
- RING RING!
- The Birlings have a family dinner celebrating Sheila's engagement to Gerald Croft- Mr.Birling is delighted about this engagement as he sees it as a business opportunity rather than his daughter getting married to the man she loves.
- We let them all come back-at the old rates-expect the four or five ringleaders, who started the trouble. I went down myself and told them to clear out. And this girl, Eva Smith, was one of them. She'd had a lot to say, i remember-far too much- so she had to go...
- I'd like some information, if you don't mind, Mr Birling. Two hours ago a young woman died in the Infirmary. She'd been taken there this afternoon because she'd swallowed a lot of strong disinfectant...
-
- Mr.Birling talks about the possible upcoming war and how he does not believe it will occur as no one would benefit from it- Priestly does this to display him as an ignorant man who does not know what he's talking about in order to put capitalism and those who feed into it in a bad light
-
- And so you used the power you had...to punish the girl just because she made you feel like that...
- Mr/Birling mentions to Gerald how he has a feeling his mother, Lady croft, may not approve of Sheila as she is not of the same status as Gerald- which displays how social status and a good title is grave in 1912 England. He then goes on to tell Gerald about his possible knighthood, which makes him seem more important therefore appealing to Sir George and Lade Croft which would lead to their interest in Mr.Birling's business.
- Why-you fool-he knows! And i hate to think how much he knows that we don't know yet. You'll see...
- I'm sorry Sheila...don't say anything to the Inspector!
- Inspector Goole arrives at the Birlings home and questions them about Eva Smith's suicide, which Mr.Birling insists he has no involvement in despite being informed of her bad financial state after he fired her
- If you don't come down sharply on some of these people, they'd be soon asking for the earth...
- They might. But after all it's better to ask for the earth than to take it...
- The inspector takes turns questioning the different family members, which reveals that Sheila was the reason behind Daisy Renton's dismissal from her last stable job before her suicide
- Yes, but it didn't seem to be anything very terrible at the time...
- As the inspector mentions Eva Smith's fake persona's name, Daisy Renton, Gerald shows obvious signs of discomfort which leads both Sheila and the inspector to believe he had an affair with her, he then confesses to not seeing her for six months before the engagement, which Sheila is still furious about.
- So first she changed her name to Daisy Renton...
