Listen to some of the more in spired lines. Pinky to Tom: "You young people don't care what clothes you wear just so long as they're tight--you all look like sexy rejects from a poor farm," (absolutely the best line). Teena to Tom: "My psychoanalyst happens to be a great man and I won't have you hinting that your psychoanalyst is better than mine!" Mrs. Bigelow to Razz (watch the clever undercutting in this one): "I've never known a Negro before--socially that is--of course I'm not at all prejudiced...
...rambling 21-room mansion in Beverly Hills, Calif., to be near his recording studio and Mother Bertha Productions, a subsidiary corporation that publishes sheet music.

...mythic level, the play is more opaque. Two characters seem more like gods than people, gods of the modern mind. Palmer, the psychoanalyst, is the contemporary god of reason, restoring order amid emotional chaos. Honor Klein, the anthropologist, is the primordial goddess of instinct, violence, and what D. H.
