No--I can't understand all this bosh. Where may you be going in your traveling dress?--and he had his hat on! Hey? (JULIE: Listen to me, Kristin, listen to me and I'll tell you everything.) I don't want to know anything-- (JULIE: You must listen to me--) What about? Is it that foolishness with Jean? That doesn't concern me at all. That I won't be mixed up with, but if you're trying to lure him to run away with you then we must put a stop to it. JULIE (Nervously). Try to be calm now Kristin, and listen to me. I can't stay here and Jean can't stay here. That being true, we must leave-- --Kristin.
