Once more, Father, this is important to me. Don't ask me why, I don't know. It has something to do with this room, when I was a child, and good times in it.

Quote context

[...]

- Listen to me, Father. Tonight means a good deal to me. I don't know what precisely, and I don't know how, something's trying to take it away from me, and I can't let it go.

- I'll put in an appearance downstairs if you like.

- Then I want to bring those people back here. I want to sit with them and have supper with them.

- We won't disturb anyone. That's all right with you, isn't it?

- Your place is downstairs.

- Once more, Father, this is important to me. Don't ask me why, I don't know. It has something to do with this room, when I was a child, and good times in it.

- What special virtue this room has I'm sure I don't know.

- You don't, do you? No, you can't. Well, I'll tell you. This room's my home. It's the only home I've got. There's something here that I understand and that understands me. Maybe it's Mother.

- Don't talk nonsense. Do as I say.

- You thought I'd come around, didn't you? You always think people will come around. Well, not me. Not tonight.

- And I shan't be disturbed here either because if there's one thing you hate, it's a scene. I can promise you one if you interfere. I can promise you a beauty.
