CECILIA
How could I know, Amadeus? There are prospects of so many kinds.
AMADEUS (cowering a moment before those words)
Yes, that's true. Life is full of prospects. Everywhere, wherever you turn, there are temptations and promises—when you have determined to be free, and to take life lightly, as we have done.... That's what you meant, was it not?
CECILIA
Yes, precisely.
AMADEUS
Tell me, Cecilia.... (He draws closer to her) There is one thing I should like to know—whether Sigismund has any idea that your mind is harboring such thoughts—which, after all, would appear rather weird to the other party concerned.
CECILIA
Sigismund...? How can you imagine?! Such things you admit only to your friends. (She gives her hand to him)
