GERALD Don't look like that Shelia.
GERALD We're respectable citizens not criminals.
GERALD Don't say anything to the Inspector.
GERALD You can drink to me.
BIRLING Gerald I'm going to tell you frankly, without any pretences, that your engagement to Sheila means a tremendous lot to me.
BIRLING Crofts Limited are both older and bigger than Birling and Company - and now you've brought us together.
GERALD You seem to be a nice well-behaved family.
GERALD Sounds a bit fishy to me.
GERALD (lightly)Sure to be. Unless Eric's been up to something.(Nodding confidently to Birling) And that would be awkward, wouldn't it?
GERALD (lightly)Only something we were talking about when you were out. A joke really.
GERALD (showing annoyance) Any particular reason why I shouldn't see this girl's pohotograph, Inspector?
(ACT 1)
GERALD Fortunately it isn’t up to you, is it Inspector?
GERALD I’d like to have a look at that photograph now, Inspector.
