Oh, yes, we all know that! We know how badly you play your cards! Tell me, Paul, honestly, have you saved up a million yet? (LEBEDIEFF: I don't know. Ask Zuzu.) (To MARTHA) And my plump little Birdie here will soon have a million too! She is getting prettier and plumper not only every day, but every hour. That means she has a nice little fortune. (MARTHA: Thank you very much, your highness, but I don't like such jokes.) My dear little gold mine, do you call that a joke? It was a wail of the soul, a cry from the heart, that burst through my lips. My love for you and Zuzu is immense. (Gaily) Oh, rapture! Oh, bliss! I cannot look at you two without a madly beating heart!
