cat on a hot tin roof dialogue; Tennessee Williams

                 
You know what I feel like
I feel all the time like a cat
on a hot tin roof
.
Then jump off the roof, Maggie
Cats jump off roofs and land uninjured.
Do it. Jump.

Jump where?
Into what?

Take a lover

i don't deserve that!
I can't see any man but you.
Even with my eyes closed, I just see you.
Why can't you get ugly, Brick?
Why can't you get fat or ugly or something,
so I can stand it?

You'll make out fine.
Your kind always does.

I'm more determined than you think
I'll win all right.

Win what?


What is the victory
of a cat on a hot tin roof?

Just staying on it, I guess...
...as long as she can.



Calm down. Not yet. Now wait a minute.
