What do you say, gentlemen? Repetatur! (He drinks) Good health to you! (He looks at his watch) I must be going. I can't wait for Nicholas. So you say Martha gave you mushrooms? We haven't seen one at home. Will you please tell me, Count, what plot you are hatching that takes you to Martha's so often? (SHABELSKI: He wants me to marry her.) Wants you to marry her! How old are you? (SHABELSKI: Sixty-two.) Really, you are just the age to marry, aren't you? And Martha is just suited to you!
