• Roger Simmons : [Returning after his failed attempt to escape down the stairs]  Pretty ridiculous spectacle. There's no way down.

  Patty Duncan Simmons : Oh, thank God you're all right! Oh Roger, what are we going to do?

  Roger Simmons : [Takes vodka bottle and glass]  I know what I'm going to do. Get quietly drunk.

  Patty Duncan Simmons : If you're responsible for all this, I know how you must be feeling.

  Roger Simmons : You don't even know the meaning of the word!

  Patty Duncan Simmons : Responsible?

  Roger Simmons : Feeling! Oh you know a lot about responsibility, it's a family trait! The Duncans are big on responsibility, at least on the surface!

  Patty Duncan Simmons : That's not fair! I don't think it's wrong to feel a sense of duty!

  Roger Simmons : [scoffs]  When you turn a phrase, lift an eyebrow the exact same way, I see and I hear your father! The two of you, one! Like a great big tree and a baby tree in the shade where the acorn fell.

  Patty Duncan Simmons : Roger, I came over to you right now, because I-I thought you might need me!

  Roger Simmons : What I need most right now, is this.

  [Grabs vodka and glass and walks away]
