FELIX
Haven't you made some changes here?
JULIAN
Not to my knowledge. And how could you know anyhow? You have only been here two or three times.
FELIX
Yes. But the last time at one of the most important moments in my life. I came here to get your advice.
JULIAN
Well, everything has turned out in accordance with your wish. Even your father has resigned himself to it.
FELIX
Yes, he has resigned himself. Of course, he would have preferred to see me continue my technical studies. But now he has seen that it is quite possible to lead a sensible life in uniform too—without any debts or duels. In fact, my life is almost too smooth. However, there is at least more to anticipate for one of us than for most people. And that's always something.
