List of voters for the quote

Margo Leadbetter: [Because of Margot being responsible for the pigs beings sent away] Well, if this business has left you out of pocket...Tom Good: No. Dead weight- I just about recouped my outlay.Margo Leadbetter: Dead weight? What's dead weight?Barbara Good: Like, if I poleaxed you right now, it's the price I'd get for your carcass. That [referring to the truck that drove away the pigs] was a slaugtherhouse truck.Tom Good: [Margot looks bewildered] Well, don't look so shocked. The fact is, that if I try to sell them back to the breeder, I get less than I paid for them. They depreciate, like cars and we've got our books to balance.Margo Leadbetter: I didn't ask you to kill them. I thought you would just send them away somewhere.Tom Good: [with a pause of frustration] Where to? Boarding school?Margo Leadbetter: Well. They have places where they retire horses.Tom Good: [shrugs Margot off] They were too young to retire, Margot. They were only ten weeks old.Margo Leadbetter: Only ten weeks? [nervously sips from her glass]Barbara Good: [sad] Just weaned.Tom Good: Not much of a life, was it? [Margot looks more and more replexed]Barbara Good: Just babies, really.Tom Good: [grunts] Never even felt the sun on their backs. [silence ensues]Barbara Good: [faking a whimper] Tom, you don't suppose they sensed where they were going, do you?Tom Good: No, they say animals know when they are going to die, but... Mind you, that little... that little cry they made when we closed the tailgate was almost human.Barbara Good: [almost sobbing] They don't feel anything, do they, when...Tom Good: [crassly] When they're garrotted? No. [shrugs] I don't think so. Well, not much, anyway.Margo Leadbetter: [finally breaks down] Stop it! For goodness' sake, stop it! [rummages in her pockets, holds her car keys out] Look, here are the keys to my car. Go and save your wretched pigs.
