Maggie: “Who are you? I am Maggie the Cat.” | Buster: “What’s Uncle Brick doing on the floor?” |
Dixie: “You’re just jealous because you can’t have babies!” | Mae: “Gooper! What all have the kiddies been shot fo’?” Gooper: “Everything but stealin’ chickens, I guess!” |
Big Mama: “Hey, folks! Ever see a preacher in a lady’s lap?” | Big Mama: “Here comes Big Daddy’s birthday!” |
No-Neck Monsters: “Skinamarinka—do. We love you.” | Big Daddy: “Take a deep breath an’ blow out th’ goddam candles on th’ cake!” |
Big Daddy: “You want liquor that bad?” | Big Daddy: “You’re my son, an’ I'm goin’' to straighten you out, now that I’m straightened out, I’m goin’ to straighten you out!” |
Big Daddy: “You been passing the buck. This disgust with mendacity is disgust with yourself.” | No-Neck Monsters: “Bang! Bang! Bang!” |
Big Mama: “Why’re you all surroundin’ me?—like this? Why’re you all starin’ at me like this an’ makin’ signs at each other?” | Doc Baugh: “We had this bit of tissue run through the laboratory an’ I’m sorry t’ say the test was positive on it. It’s malignant.” |
Maggie overhears from the gallery. Mae: “Gooper's your son, Mama, he's your first born!” | Gooper: “Now this is not—not final, or anything like it, this is just a preliminary outline. But it does provide a—basis—a design—a—possible, feasible—plan.” |
Big Mama: “Time goes by so fast. Nothin’ can outrun it. Death commences too early—almost before you’re half-acquainted with the other.” | Maggie: “Announcement of life beginning! A child is coming, sired by Brick, and out of Maggie the Cat!” |
Big Daddy: “Uh-huh, this girl has life in her body, that’s no lie!” | Brick: “Mae, Sister Woman, how d’ you know that I don’t sleep with Maggie?” |
