Accuracy of the Quote

"Could I have planned all this. No... no, I couldn't have. But I think I did." This quote is included in the plot summary, but in the version of the play which I just read (included in The Collected Plays of Edward Albee, vol. 1) does not include this line in the context suggested (I did no re-read the entire play to see if it appears elsewhere). Is there any chance that this line comes from a different work, was added by a director at some point, or made up? 204.52.215.69 (talk) 13:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Having just seen this at SF's ACT, I do not recall the lines being uttered exactly as stated above. I did read in the playbill that the final monologue had been changed since the addition of the new first act. Albee had stated something along the lines of, when one is stabbed in the heart they don't deliver a monologue, they die. Perhaps this may explain the quotation's change.

The above quote never appears in the play, to my knowledge and I have been studying both the original version, and the new version recently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.15.131.133 (talk) 09:28, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The quote does appear in the full text of the play at presented at Scribd, near the end at one would expect. Pechmerle (talk) 06:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
