this link will explain how to quote and cite a play in your paper:

http://libguides.pstcc.edu/content.php?pid=24540&sid=1751573

Here is small sample from the link below:
When quoting dialogue between two characters:
     
      KROGSTAD. Yes, yes, yes, to the point: there's still time, and I'm advising you to use your
         influence to prevent it.

      NORA. But Mr. Krogstad, I have absolutely no influence.

      KROGSTAD. You haven't? I thought you were just saying -

      NORA. You shouldn't take me so literally! How can you believe that I have any such influence
          over my husband? (Doll act 1)

Quoting a Single Character MLA 6.4.8
If you quote a remark from one character, you can incorporate it into the body of the paragraph.

 

Nora's epiphany occurs when she realizes her husband will never reciprocate the sacrifices she's made to protect his pride. She finally stands up to Helmer, telling him, "You neither think nor talk like the man I could join myself to" (Doll act 3).
