CAPTAIN. You think you could still manage?
ALICE. Still?
CAPTAIN. Ye-es. I guess you are done with dancing, you like me!
ALICE. I am ten years younger than you.
CAPTAIN. Then we are of the same age, as the lady should be ten years younger.
ALICE. Be ashamed of yourself! You are an old man—and I am still in my best years.
CAPTAIN. Oh, I know, you can be quite charming—to others, when you make up your mind to it.
ALICE. Can we light the lamp now?
CAPTAIN. Certainly.
ALICE. Will you ring, please.
