HENRY: Okay! What have you got to lose? What have they done for us? That’s right - nothing. Tear everything down. I don’t care what you smash. We’ll begin again and we’ll show ‘em.

(ANTROBUS holds his revolver pointing downwards. With his back to the audience, he moves towards the footlights. HENRY’S voice grows louder and he wakes with a start.)

ANTROBUS: Quiet!

HENRY: Nobody can say must to me. All my life everybody’s been crossing me, - everybody, everything, all of you. I’m going to be free, even if I have to kill half the world for it.

Widler, Thornton, The Skin of Our Teeth, 1942, Concord Theatricals, pp. 111-113.
