Quotes4

  • 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.
  • Stella: But Mr. Potter, you haven't seen me act!
  • Meredith Potter: Oh, I rather think I have.
  • Desmond Fairchild: Mr. Potter, I'm having trouble finding my character.
  • Meredith Potter: So I've noticed.
  • [Turns and leaves]
  • 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.
