Vincent. That's nothing to me. You ought to take the wives of the chaps as works here first.
Thérèse. All I can do is to mention her name at the next meeting of our Union.
Vincent. Oh, damn your Union—it's a fair nuisance!
Thérèse. A Union is always a nuisance to somebody.
Vincent. And you'll ask your Union not to take my old woman?
Thérèse. I certainly shall.
Vincent [rather threateningly] Very well. Things was more comfortable here before you come from Paris, you know.
Thérèse [quietly] I'm sorry.
Vincent. And they'll be more comfortable when you take your hook back.
Thérèse. That won't be for a good while yet.
