Well, you couldn't have helped me anyhow. (Pause) Good-by. Make an excuse for me, please. Tell them anything you want. I am going away, and I don't want to know anything more.
JULIAN
What's the matter with you? Nothing has changed.
IRENE
You think so?—To me it is as if all these twenty-three years had suddenly undergone a complete change.—Good-by.
JULIAN
Good-by—for a while.
IRENE
For a while? Do you care?—Really?—Do you feel sad, Julian?—Now I am sorry for you again. (Shaking her head) Of course, that's the way you are. So what is there to do about it?
JULIAN
