Me. We are discussing me, Miss Faraday. What can I say to induce you to forgive me? (CELIA: Nothing. But, of course, you may say it if you wish.) (Turns and comes to her. Tenderly) I did lie to you elaborately, and I'm going to be jolly glad that I had the chance of lying to you, and I want all the rest of my life the chance of telling you the truth. These few hours with you have made me want so very much for more like them, made me want a chance to seem less odious in your eyes, at least to be on a fair footing, so that I may take my chances with the rest.
