And what would it lead to ... my friend?
AMADEUS
Don't call me that! I love you and I hate you, but in this moment I am not your friend. What you have been to me—wife, comrade ... what do I care! To-day I want to be—your lover!
CECILIA
You mustn't...! You can't ... no....
AMADEUS
Not your lover then ... but what is both worse and better ... the man who takes you away from another one—the one with whom you are betraying someone else—the one who means to you both bliss and sin at once!
CECILIA
Let me loose, Amadeus.
