Alan Dobie: Judge Brack

Quotes 

• Judge Brack : Every respectible home is going to be closed to Eilert Lovborg from now on. As a friend of the family I can't help saying that it would be well more than a little painful if this gentleman should find any haven here. If he should try to invade...

  Hedda Gabler : [holding her hand up in complete understanding]  Eh, triangle?

  Judge Brack : Precisely. It would render me homeless.

  Hedda Gabler : Ah, yes. A roost but no room.

  Judge Brack : That's not what I've looked for, and I'll see to it that I get what I have.

  Hedda Gabler : How dangerous you are when the last bits are made!

  Judge Brack : Think so?

  Hedda Gabler : I'm beginning to now. I'm only thankful you have no hold on me.

  Judge Brack : Oh, just imagine what it could lead to!

  Hedda Gabler : [laughs]  Threatening sounds really don't go with your appearance at all!

  Judge Brack : Well, I think I've managed to say what I meant. So, until I happen to see you again, good-bye, Madame Hedda.

  Hedda Gabler : Are you going through the garden?

  Judge Brack : Oh, it's quicker for me.

  Hedda Gabler : Everywhere people are sniping from the inside.

  Judge Brack : [laughs as he's walking away]  You don't pick off your barnyard cocks.

  Hedda Gabler : [mumbles]  Indeed.

  [louder] 

  Hedda Gabler : Not if you only have one.

  Judge Brack : People don't do that kind of thing!
