Really, Elizabeth, you're intolerable. (ELIZABETH: I'm doing nothing.) Yes, you are, you're putting me off my blow. What I want to say is perfectly simple. I'm a very ordinary business man. (ELIZABETH: You've said that before.) (Angrily.) Shut up. I haven't got a bob besides what I earn. I've got no position. I'm nothing. You're rich and you're a big pot and you've got everything that anyone can want. It's awful cheek my saying anything to you at all. But after all there's only one thing that really matters in the world, and that's love. I love you. Chuck all this, Elizabeth, and come to me.
