RALPH. Well, old man, you do get blood to the head. But what's Athene's point, exactly?
BUILDER. Family life isn't idyllic, so she thinks she and the young man oughtn't to have one.

BUILDER. Hang it all, a family's a family! There must be a head.
RALPH. But no tail, old chap.
BUILDER. You don't let your women folk do just as they like?
RALPH. Always.
BUILDER. What happens if one of your girls wants to do an improper thing? [RALPH shrugs his shoulders]. You don't stop her?
RALPH. Do you?
BUILDER. I try to.
