Don't question me.... Even if I had a child, it wouldn't belong to you anyhow.
IRENE
He has a child! He has a child! (Pause) Why do you permit it to be drifting around in the world then?
JULIAN

IRENE
Why don't you go and get it?
JULIAN
How could it be any of my concern? How could I dare to make it my concern? Oh, that's enough.... (Pause) Do you want another cup of tea?
