Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)

Revealing mistake: When George and the young man are in the garden, telling jokes and drinking bourbon, the young man pours some bourbon into George's glass, but the bourbon, instead of being brown, is clear, like water.

George: You take the trouble to construct a civilization, to build a society based on the principles of... of principle. You make government and art and realise that they are, must be, both the same. You bring things to the saddest of all points, to the point where there is something to lose. Then, all at once, through all the music, through all the sensible sounds of men building, attempting, comes the Dies Irae. And what is it? What does the trumpet sound? Up yours.
