Quotes From The Crucible

Quote Log

Casey

Mask: "‘Want coffee?'… ‘Sounds great, Amos,' [Casey] said."

Real Identity: "His coffee was always terrible."

Investigation effect: This mask did not specifically mess up the investigation. Although it did show that Casey was not always an honest person to her coworkers.

Mask: "‘By the way, is that China sale firm? I keep hearing it's not.' She shrugged. ‘I honestly don't know.' ‘Has Marder talked to you about it?' ‘Not to me personally'"

Real Identity: "‘Then somebody better get the word out,' Casey said…‘but he didn't sit in on the China negotiations.' ‘I'll speak to him,' Marder said."

Investigation Effect: Casey is wherein the mask to help the investigation because she lies to Brull so that
he does not know much about the China sale. If Brull knew that Casey had much to do with the China sale and Marder he might get into an argument or mess Casey off her case because Brull might think she's working a lot with Marder the bad guy.

Mask: "Rogers shrugged.
‘Everybody knows Marder and Edgarton are at each other's throats. Marder expected to be named president, but the Board passed him over. But they gave Edgarton a one-year contract---so he's got only twelve months to produce. And I hear Marder's undercutting Edgarton, every way he can.' ‘I wouldn't know about that,' she
said."

Real Identity: "Casey had, of course, heard such rumors.

Investigation effect: Not too much effect on the investigation, but could get Casey in the middle of something when talking with Marder. Marder may annoy her about it and throw her mind off of the case or something.

Mask: "Instead [Casey] said, ‘The public is best served by getting accurate information. And at the moment, we have no information to offer. To speculate would be irresponsible.'"

Real Identity: "‘Jack,' she said, ‘we've got three hundred N-22s in service around the world. The model has an outstanding safety record.' In fact, in five years of service there had been no fatalities involving the aircraft until yesterday. That was a reason for pride, but she decided not to mention it because she could see his lead: The first fatalities to occur on a Norton N-22 aircraft happened yesterday…"

Investigation effect: Casey is hiding information from the public so that they do not know about the other plane crash.
That way she could focus everything on the case instead of having to deal with a lot of reporters because they think Norton is in trouble or something.

Richmond

Mask: "Furious Casey pushed Richman backward, shoving him through the door to the women's room. Richman started to laugh. "Jeeze, Casey, I didn't know you cared –""

Real Identity: "He threw her hands off him. "You still don't get it, do you? Its over, Casey. You just blew the China sale. You're finished."

Investigation effect: This did not have much to do with the investigation, but it had much to do with the China sale. The also was the turning point and made Richman's true identity and enormous arrogance shown.

Mask: "Casey said, ‘This is my new assistant, Bob Richman.'"

Real Identity: "‘Okay,' Richman said. He walked down the hall to his office. When he was gone, Norma said, ‘You know, he talks to Marder a lot. I heard it from
Eileen.'"

Investigation effect: This at first does not seem like it effects the investigation at all. Then Richman gets caught copying all the documents Casey has and is found trying to get Casey when she finds the QAR.

Mask: "She saw Richman slip into the room, and stand with his back to the far wall. He had a faint smile on his face. He didn't look worried. He was confident there was nothing she could do."

Real Identity: "We will announce it tomorrow," Casey said. Behind the lights, she saw Richman's startled reaction. He hadn't been expecting that."

Investigation effect: This had to do with the investigation on announcing what she had planed for the next day. But it mostly had Richman in a bit of an unstable position and mostly shock.

Mask: "'What a crock of shit. Hey! Clarence, come in here. See that seat? That's the first officer's seat. Sit down there.' Richman was hesitant"

Real Identity: "She stared at him, not understanding. He was strong, confident – a different person."

Investigation effect: This had absolutely nothing to do with the investigation but it did show a transformation in Richman. He was a pretty much shy person and then he changed into a better strong person.

Don Brull

Mask: "‘Look,' Brull said. ‘It doesn't matter to me, personally. They close this plant in then years, I'll be retired. But that'll be about the time your kid starts college. You'll be looking at those big tuition payments, and you won't have a job. You though about that?'"

Real Identity: "‘Marder's reckless.' He squinted at her in the sunlight. ‘You know that. You know what he's capable of.'"

Investigation effect: Well this could have kept Casey's mind off the investigation and on to her daughter's future for a while. Brull sometimes seems to care about Casey and then he starts going after Marder and criticizing him.

Mask: "They can build the next generation of planes on their own. Ten years from now, nobody here has a job."

Real Identity: "‘A big problem.' He paused, looked at her. ‘Understand?' She did. The UAW workers on the floor had absolute control over production. They could slow down, sick out, break tooling, and create hundreds of other intractable problems. ‘I'll talk to Marder,' she said. ‘I'm sure he doesn't want a problem on the line.'"

Investigation effect: This has a investigation effect because if the wing is found out to be shipped off to China then all the workers would get mad and trash everything. Then they might mess the investigation up by sabotaging the 545 and messing up something vital to Casey's investigation.

Mask: "‘We got some problems with this China sale,' Brull said."

Real Identity: "Marder is the problem."

Investigation effect: This certainly could not effect the investigation much. It is just showing how for all the problems with the company there is always blame from Brull that it is Marder's fault.

Mask: "‘It's out of my hands,' [Don] said."

Real Identity: "But you hang around here, I can't help you."
Investigation effect: Yes this does effect the investigation because it shows that Brull is not going to do anything to hurt Casey. Then he talks about he can not help her if something goes wrong and she gets in trouble.

Jennifer Malone

Mask: "‘Wait a minute! Let me get strapped in!' ‘You're perfectly safe, Ms. Malone.' ‘I want to sit down, at least.' ‘Then sit down.'"

Real Identity: "Jennifer stared back, then realized that Singleton was remaining standing by the cockpit door. Staring at her. Feeling foolish, Jennifer went back and stood by Singleton."

Investigation effect: Not too much to do with the investigation. May have distracted Casey a little bit having Jennifer complain and annoy her.

Mask: "‘I'm going on,' Malone said. She looked at Casey, her expression an open challenge.

Real Identity: "‘So: How about you?'"

Investigation effect: This is but yet another conflict between Casey and Malone. Malone could hurt the investigation because she seems to be trained in being a nasty reporter and ruining people.

Mask: "Jennifer smiled. ‘Thank you very much,' she said. ‘You were great.'"

Real Identity: "Finally she began to worry that she couldn't use any of the interview, that she was wasting her time with this guy."

Investigation effect: She again does not get the successful information that she needs to bring down Norton. This will definitely help Norton in the investigation because Malone can not make a strong case against Norton at the present.

Mask: "Yes, Dick. I want him."

Real Identity: "‘Jennifer? Do I send him, or not?' But she couldn't say no. She couldn't admit she had been wrong. He'd kill her if she backed off the story now."

Investigation effect: This actually does affect the investigation because Malone is the reporter that could ruin Norton. If she is unsure of things and does not know what she is doing much then she might not be able to interrupt the investigatio
