Sterling Monologue from The climbers

From The climbers by Clyde Fitch

male · anguished · 48 sec

I'm sorry, old girl, I'm really sorry. (Embracing her affectionately.) And surely you know I don't love any other woman in the world but you. (He kisses her.) It's only because I've been terribly worried. I don't want to bother you with business, but I've been in an awful hole for money. I tried to make a big coup in Wall Street the other day and only succeeded getting in deeper, and for the last few days I've been nearly distracted. (BLANCHE: Why didn't you tell me?) I thought I'd get out of it with this Consolidated Copper without worrying you. (BLANCHE: You were in that, too?) How do you mean I, "too"?
