Father quotes from Angel

Anna, come closer.

Master Liam, your father...

He'll be off to church by now, repenting of his sins. And well he should. Closer, Anna!

Why do ye keep to the shadows, sir? Are ye not well?

The light... it bothers my eyes just now.

And I know the reason why! [kicks Liam out into the sunlight] Up again all night, is it? Drinking and whoring! I can smell the stink of it on you!

And a 'good morning' to you, Father.

You're a disgrace.

If you say so, Father.

Oh, I do. I do say so. Have you not had enough debauchery for one night? Must you corrupt the servants as well?

'Servant,' Father. We have one servant. Anyway, everyone gets corrupted. But I find some forms of corruption are more pleasant... [rocks back as hard open-handed slap catches him full force]

I'm ashamed to call you my son. A lay-about and a scoundrel. You'll never amount to anything more than that.

Liam! You'll do as I say.

[To his sister.] Sweet Kathy. No tears. We'll meet again.

Defy me now, you won't. Not as long as I live.

You'll want to move away from the door now, father.

Go through it, but don't ever expect to come back.

As you wish, father. Always, just as you wish.

It's a son I wished for! A man! instead God gave me you! A terrible disappointment.

Disappointment? A more dutiful son you couldn't have asked for. My whole life you've told me in word, in glance, what it is you required of me, and I've lived down to your every expectations, now haven't I?

That's madness!

No. The madness is that I couldn't fail enough for you. But we'll fix that now, won't we?

I fear for you, lad.

And is that the only thing you can find in your heart for me now, father?

Who'll take you in, huh? No one!

I'll not lack for a place to sleep, I can tell you that. Out of my way.

I was never in your way, boy.

If you'll go courting trouble, you're sure to find it!

Strange. Somehow you seemed taller when I was alive.

Lord, bind this demon now.

To think I ever let such a tiny, trembling thing make me feel the way you did.

[crosses himself] Deliver me under thy protection, Father.

You told me I wasn't a man. You told me I was nothing. And I believed you. You said I'd never amount to anything. You were wrong. [vamps] You see, Father. I have made something of myself after all.
