Here, here is Rosa; look, sir! My God, how ugly she is. David cries every time he sees her. (ROSA: There are uglier women than I am.) Persuasively. What are you saying, Rosa? There is no uglier girl than you in the whole world. ((Whispers entreatingly.)) Hide your beauty, Rosa. A robber has come, Rosa,--hide your beauty! At night I will wash your face myself, I will comb your braids myself, and you will be as beautiful as a heavenly angel, and we will all pray to you. A robber has come, Rosa. ((Aloud.)) Did they throw stones at you again? (ROSA: Hoarsely. Yes, they did.) And the dogs attacked you, too?
