JoanIt's funny: it's the same show, but now they've all read how great it is, we get these big standing ovations every night, and it's the exact same show it was before.

Lisa CohenPeople don't relate to each other, Mom. They're totally disconnected. And if they have any time for each other at all, it's either like a biological imperative or like some weird cultural anomaly. That's what I make of it.
JoanWell... I think it's pretty unfortunate that you think that. Because I feel like you and I used to relate to each other really well.
Lisa CohenI'm not trying to hurt your feelings. It's just a general observation.

JoanI feel like we're always misunderstanding each other. Do you feel that way at all? Or am I just completely off the beam?
RamonI don't think we should talk about that, Joan.
JoanYou don't? Well... I think it's kind of important or I wouldn't have brought it up.
RamonJoan... I like you very much. But let's not talk about what you are like, and what I am like. That never makes a good result. Talk about it with your friends.
JohnDavid, I think you've made your point. But it's not what Shakespeare meant. Scholarly opinion is pretty consistent that he's trying to say something about human suffering here...
DavidScholarly opinion!
JohnAnd in this particular play what I think he's trying to say is pretty black - pretty bleak...
DavidBut what are you saying? A thousand Frenchmen can't be wrong?
JohnNo, I'm not saying that. But I would like to move on...
DavidI think he *is* saying that, because he's comparing human consciousness to flies, and he's saying that we can't see the truth around us because our consciousness is undeveloped.
