Ann: Philip, you’re hurting me!

Philip (passionately): I want to hurt you.

[Philip is pushing back her hair with one hand, and with the other he holds her at arm’s length. Very brutally he crushes her against himself, and then pushes her away again. Her hair is coming down and her lip is bleeding. At last he releases her and walks away with his back to her. Ann tremulously follows him and puts her hand on his arm. Philip turns.

Ann: Philip, you do love me, don’t you?

Philip (in a hard voice): I wonder.
