Emily Harper:
Why must you say such cruel and miserable things to me?!

Jason Foster:
Why indeed, Emily. Because you're cruel and miserable people. Because none of you respond to love. Emily responds only to what her petty hungers dictate, a prime example of this being her marriage to Wilfred... a marriage which broke her dear late mother's heart, in every sense! Wilfred responds only to things that have weight and bulk and value. He feels books, he doesn't read them. He appraises paintings, he doesn't seek out their truth or their beauty! And Paula there lives in a mirror. The world is nothing to her than a reflection of herself. And her brother. Humanity to him is a small animal caught in a trap to be tormented. His pleasure is the giving of pain, and from this, he receives the same sense of fulfillment most human beings get from a kiss or an embrace! You're caricatures. All of you. Without your masks, you're caricatures! (the clock strikes twelve) And now you're all very rich. Now you own everything that I have owned. You kept your bargain. You wore the masks. Enjoy yourselves, dear ones. I've lived a full life. May God pity you. (Jason goes limp)

Wilfred Harper Sr.:
He's dead! At long last, he's dead!

Wilfred Harper Jr.:
Good!

Wilfred Harper Sr.:
(takes off his mask) Now, let's celebrate!

Emily Harper:
Oh!

Wilfred Harper Sr.:
What's the matter? What's the matter with you all?! (Wilfred's face has taken on the appearance of his mask)
