Maybe you are right, Amadeus. But is it pride alone that makes you let me slip away so easily?
AMADEUS
Is it love alone that brings you back when almost gone? (Pause; he goes to the window)
CECILIA
Why should we spoil these hours with bitterness, Amadeus? After all, we have nothing to reproach each other for. We have promised to be honest with each other, and my word has been kept so far.
AMADEUS
And so has mine. If you want it, I can tell you exactly what I and the Countess talked of to-day, as I have always done. And for me, Cecilia, it will even be possible to recall the very words.
CECILIA (looking long at him)
I know enough. (Pause)
AMADEUS (walking to and fro until he stops some distance away from her) And what next?
