START: At a Mardi Gras ball some – some boy that took me to it got too drunk to stand up! [A short, mirthless note of laughter.] I wanted to go home. My coat was in the cloakroom, they couldn’t find the check for it in his pockets. I said, ‘Oh, hell, let it go!’ – I started out for a taxi.
[...]
END: Well … if you’re still alive after dying, well then, you’re obedient, Doctor. – I got up. He took me downtown to a place for passport photos. Said: ‘Mother can’t go abroad with me this summer. You’re going to go with me this summer instead of Mother.’
Tennessee Williams. Suddenly Last Summer. Penguin Modern Classics (electronic version), 2009. p.49-50.
