That’s the actual truth. But you are a problem. I’ve always had a yearning for a problem. It’s really been a deep personal loss to me, that until yesterday… I never saw you act.

Count
Yes! You see, going to the theater is so complicated. I am used to dining late … then when I get there, the best part of the play is over. Isn’t that true?
Actress
From now on, I suppose, you will dine earlier.
Count
I’ve thought of that too. Or maybe I won’t dine at all. Dining isn’t a special pleasure anyhow.
