(Simmons returns to the Promenade Room after his failed attempt to escape down the stairs)

Roger Simmons:
Pretty ridiculous spectacle, right? There's no way down.

Patty Duncan Simmons:
Oh, thank God you're all right! Oh Roger, what are we going to do?

Roger Simmons:
I know what I'm going to do. Get quietly drunk.

Patty Duncan Simmons:
If you're responsible for all this, I know...what you must be feeling.

Roger Simmons:
You don't even know the meaning of the word.

Patty Duncan Simmons:
What, "Responsible"?

Roger Simmons:
"Feeling"! Oh, you know a lot about responsibility; it's a family trait. The Duncans are very big in the responsibility department - at least on the surface!9

Patty Duncan Simmons:
That's not fair! I don't think it's wrong to feel a, a sense of, of duty!

Roger Simmons:
Sometimes, when you turn the exact same phrase, lift an eyebrow the exact same way, I see and I hear your father. The two of you, one! Like a great big tree and a little baby tree in its shade where the acorn fell.

Patty Duncan Simmons:
Roger, I came over here to you because I-I thought you might need me!

Roger Simmons:
Right now, what I need most, is this. (grabs the glass and bottle of vodka)
