An Inspector Calls
Storyboard Text
- Sheila Birling and Gerald Croft were celebrating their engagement with their family when an inspector tells them that a girl called Eva Smith had committed suicide by drinking bleach he wanted to ask them some questions.
- Two hours ago a young woman was found dead in the Infirmary.
- The Inspector questioned Mr. Birling first, and he admitted that he had fired the girl who died from his factory.
- Yes, I do. She was one of my employees and then I discharged her...she'd had a lot to say - far too much - so she had to go.
- I think you remember Eva Smith now, don't you Mr Birling?
- The Inspector then moved on to talk to Sheila, who had got Eva Smith sacked from her new job at Milwards.
- I went to the manager at Milwards and I told him that if they didn't get rid of that girl, I'd never go near the place again...
- She had what seemed to her a wonderful stroke of good luck. She was taken on in a shop - and a good shop too - Milwards.
- The Inspector then talked to Gerald, who was shocked to hear that Eva Smith and Daisy Renton were the same person, and admitted to cheating on Sheila with her.
- I'm sorry Sheila. But it was all over and done with, last summer.
- So she changed her name to Daisy Renton-
- It is then revealed that Eva Smith asked Mrs Birling for help during her pregnancy, and the father of the baby was Eric.
- Mrs Birling spoke to and saw her only two weeks ago...this girl was going to have a child.
- Go and look for the father of the child. It's his responsibility.
- You're pretending everything's just as it was before!
- The Inspector then leaves, and the Birling family discuss what's happened, before realising that the Inspector wasn't really an Inspector after all...
- We've been had.
- Was he really a police Inspector?
