A scene from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 1958

Brick

[after Maggie closes and locks the door]

Now what did you do that for, Maggie?

Maggie

To give us a little privacy for a while.

Brick

Don't make a fool of yourself, Maggie.

Maggie

I don't mind makin' a fool of myself over you.

Brick

Well I mind. I feel embarrassed for you.

Maggie

Feel embarrassed! But I can't live on this way.

Brick

Now you agreed to accept that condition.

Maggie

I know I did, but I can't, I can't. [She fiercely hugs him.]

Brick

Let go, Maggie. [She doesn't respond and he pulls her away.] Now let go, Maggie.

Maggie You've got no cause to dislike him. Brick Do I dislike him? Maggie Well, it's obvious to everybody, especially to him. What's he ever done to you? What? Why do you hate him so much? What's he ever done to you? Brick Nothin'. Maggie An announcement of life beginning. A child is coming. Sired by Brick out of Maggie the Cat. I have Brick's child in my body and that is my present to you. Big Daddy Yes indeed. This girl has life in her body. And that's no lie. Maggie the Cat One of those no-neck monsters hit me with some ice cream. Their fat little heads sit on their fat little bodies without a bit of connection...you can't wring their necks if they got no necks to wring. Isn't that right, honey?...Think of it, they've got five monsters and number six comin' up.
