← Nurse will bring me something to eat. Get some sleep. The sun's only just risen. Your eyes are all scrunched up, you're so tired. Go now. 🔊✎
← Not of the night to come, not of the terrible noonday sun that won't move, not of the shadows... 🔊✎
← Boss, you can ask the others. When I got back, we'd uncovered the body again. But the sun was getting warm and it was starting to stink so we went up on that little hill, really close you know, we just wanted to get upwind of it. 🔊✎
← But it gets towards noon, sun's beating down, and suddenly there's no wind so you really notice the smell. I've got my eyes trained on it but the air's shaking like jelly with the heat, you can't see a thing. I go over to the other guy and ask if he's got a smoke. 🔊✎
← First of all, I'm not tender-hearted but I'm kind of fussy: I like things to be clean and neat. You think this doesn't disgust me as much as you, this piece of stinking meat we've left out in the sun? In the evening, when we get the sea breeze, you can smell it even in the palace. It turns my stomach. But all the same, I don't close the window. 🔊✎
← You'll see, it will become a simple, hard little thing that you can nibble on as you sit in the sun. They'll tell you the opposite because they need your strength and swiftness. Don't listen to them. Don't listen to me either when I give my next speech in front of Eteocles' tomb. It won't be true. Nothing is true except the things you don't say... 🔊✎
