精彩独白
一个人撑起的一段戏，值得整段跟读❝ 舞台上的怒气陈词
"You've got a fine right, you have, after the way you treated Mother, "after the way you treated us all! "A fine right you've got to come back in here in your best country manner... "and strike attitudes and make stands... "and criticize my fiance and give orders... "and mess things up generally as if you'd done-- "Well, I can't help it. It's sickening! As if he'd done nothing at all!"
“你还有什么脸回来？想想你怎么对待妈妈，想想你怎么对待我们所有人！” “你还有脸摆出那副乡下绅士的派头回来……” “摆姿态、装腔作势……” “批评我的未婚夫，发号施令……” “还把一切搅得一团糟，好像你做过——”“我也没办法，真叫人恶心！” “好像他什么都没做过似的！”
连续排比把积怨越推越高，最后落到刺耳的控诉。
❝ 琳达的送养自白
I had a kid, Lenny, and I gave him up for adoption. It's the sorriest thing I ever did in my entire life. There's not a day that doesn't go by that I don't... wake up thinking about him. Now some lucky family has him. I just hope to God that they're taking good care of him.
我有过一个孩子，伦尼，但我把他送去领养了。 这是我这辈子做过最让我后悔的事。 没有一天不…… 一醒来就想起他。 现在他在一个幸运的家庭里。 我只求老天保佑他们把他照顾好。
从直白承认到反复惦念，停顿让遗憾慢慢浮出来。
