LULU. (Shudders backward in terror.) No. No...

SCHWARZ. (Trying to turn him over.) Dr. Goll.

LULU. He doesn't hear.

SCHWARZ. But you, help me, please.

LULU. The two of us together couldn't lift him.

SCHWARZ. (Straightening up.) We must send for a doctor.

LULU. He is fearfully heavy.

SCHWARZ. (Getting his hat.) Please, though, be so good as to put the
place a little to rights while I'm away. (He goes out.)

LULU. He'll spring up all at once. (Intensely.) Bussi! He just won't
notice anything. (Comes down-stage in a wide circle.) He sees my feet,
and watches every step I take. He has his eye on me everywhere.
(Touches him with her toe.) Bussi! (Flinching, backward.) It's serious
with him. The dance is over. He'll send me to prison. What shall I do?
(Leans over, to the floor.) A strange, wild face! (Getting up.) And no
one to do him the last services--isn't that sad! (Schwarz returns.)

SCHWARZ. Still not come to himself?

LULU. (Down right.) What shall I do?

SCHWARZ. (Bending over Goll.) Doctor Goll.

LULU. I almost think it's serious.

SCHWARZ. Talk decently!

LULU. =He= wouldn't say that to me. He makes me dance for him when he
doesn't feel well.

SCHWARZ. The doctor will be here in a moment.

LULU. Doctoring won't help =him=.

SCHWARZ. But people do what they can, in such cases!

LULU. =He= doesn't think so.

SCHWARZ. Then won't you at least--get dressed?

LULU. Yes,--right off.

SCHWARZ. What are you waiting for?

LULU. Please ...

SCHWARZ. What is it?

LULU. Shut =his= eyes.

SCHWARZ. You make me shiver.

LULU. Not nearly so much as you make =me=!

SCHWARZ. I?

LULU. You're a born criminal.

SCHWARZ. Doesn't this moment touch you at all, then?

LULU. It hits me, too, some.

SCHWARZ. Please, just you keep still now!

LULU. It hits you some, too.

SCHWARZ. You really didn't need to say that to a man, in such a moment.

LULU. =Please ...!=

SCHWARZ. Do what you think necessary. I don't know how.

LULU. (Left of Goll.) He's looking at me.

SCHWARZ. (Right of Goll.) And at me, too.

LULU. You're a coward!

SCHWARZ. (Shuts Goll's eyes with his handkerchief.) It's the first time
in my life that anyone has called me that.

LULU. Didn't you do it to your mother?

SCHWARZ. (Nervously.) No.

LULU. You were away, perhaps.

SCHWARZ. No!

LULU. Or else you were afraid?

SCHWARZ. (Violently.) No!

LULU. (Shivering, backward.) I didn't mean to insult you.
