Oh Brick. I get so lonely! Living with someone you love can be lonelier than living entirely alone when the one you love doesn’t love you. You can’t even stand drinking out of the same glass can you? No! No, I wouldn’t. Why can’t you lose your good looks Brick? Most drinking men lose theirs. Why can’t you. I think you’ve even gotten better looking since you weren’t on the bottle. You were such a wonderful love. You were so exciting to be in love with. Mostly I guess because you were... If I thought you’d never never made love to me again, why I’d find me the longest sharpest knife I could and I’d stick it straight into my heart. I’d do that. Oh Brick how long does this have to go on, this punishment? Haven’t I served my term? Can’t I apply for a pardon? Is it any wonder. You know what I feel like? I feel all the time like a cat on a hot tin roof. (Elizabeth Taylor as Maggie Politt in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, dir. Richard Brooks, 1958)
