Ethics

1.
"KELLER: All kind of business goin' on. In my day, either you were a lawyer, or a doctor, or you worked in a shop. Now...
FRANK: Well, I was going to be a forester once.
KELLER: Well, that shows you; in my day, there was no such thing" (Act 1. Pg 7).

 This quote is explaining the conversation between Frank and Keller. In this conversation, Keller describes his values and out looks on jobs and how people back then would take on high end jobs in order to make a successful pay and living situation. However, Frank thinks this is non sense and continues to look in the want ads for a job.


2.
"KELLER: Oh , Kate asked you to make a horoscope?
FRANK: Yeah, what she wants to find out is whether November 25th was a favorable day for Larry.
KELLER: What is that, favorable day?
FRANK: Well, a favorable day for a person is a fortunate day, according to his stars. In other words it would be practically impossible for him to have died on his favorable day.
KELLER: Well, was this his favorable day?-- November 25th?
FRANK: That's what I'm working on to find out" (Act 1. Pg. 7).


This quote is describing the conversation between Keller and Frank. Frank highly believes in horoscopes and their fortunes, while Keller hardly knows anything about them. So in this current dialog Frank describes a " favorable day" to Keller and the meaning behind it. Frank also explains that if November 25th was a favorable day, Larry has a good chance of still being alive.


3.
"KELLER: In my day when you had two sons it was an honor. Today a doctor could make a million dollars if he could figure out a way to bring a boy into the world with out a trigger finger" (Act 1. Pg. 10)

This quote is explaining Joe Killers values on children. In this quote he is explaining how times have changed drastically since he was young. He is demonstrating how having two sons was an honor to him and now none of these matters to technology. As a result of this, society is changing his overall values.


4.
"MOTHER: Because current things have to be, and current things can never be. Like the sun has to rise it has to be. That's why theres god. Otherwise anything could happen" (Act 1. Pg. 24).


This quote is explaining how mother thinks her son Larry is still alive. It is also explaining that everything happens for a reason because god wants it that particular way. This quote highly represents the mothers values. It also shows how she thinks astonishingly of god.
