Quotes
-
[June waits in Philip's flat for him. Irene arrives]
June Forsyte : Phil isn't here. Nobody's here.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Except you ... and I.
June Forsyte : Yes. I ... I came to tell him Soames won the case.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Of course.
June Forsyte : Phil wasn't there. I didn't expect him to be.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Why not?
June Forsyte : Phil wouldn't defend himself. Why should he? He's done nothing wrong.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : No.
June Forsyte : All he did was to make the house more beautiful.
[She moves away]
June Forsyte : What are you doing here?
[Irene remains motionless]
June Forsyte : Don't stand there like that, as if you were made of stone.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : I wish to God I were.
June Forsyte : So ... it's all true. Everything I've ... I've tried not to think about, everything they've said about you; it's all true.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : I don't know what they've said. I haven't been listening.
June Forsyte : You've no right to be here!
Irene Forsyte née Heron : I've no right anywhere.
June Forsyte : What do you mean?
Irene Forsyte née Heron : I've left Soames. You always said I should; don't you remember? But it wouldn't have happened - I should never have got free ...
June Forsyte : Stop! Don't tell me, I don't want to hear anything, I don't want to know ...
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Why not? Are you afraid? You shouldn't be!
June Forsyte : You were my friend. I thought you were my friend.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : [laughing] Yes! And you were a child. But you're no longer a child. You're a woman. And you should know by now that women don't have friends. They have a lover and other people they just happen to have met.
June Forsyte : You revolt me.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Yes!
