LILIOM
Aunt Hollunder! [With naïve joy.] Julie’s going to have a baby. [Then he goes to the window, jumps on the sofa, looks out. Suddenly, in a voice that overtops the droning of the organ, he shouts as if addressing the far-off carousel.] I’m going to be a father.
JULIE
[Enters from the kitchen.] Liliom! What’s the matter? What’s happened?
LILIOM
[Coming down from the sofa.] Nothing. [Throws himself on the sofa, buries his face in the cushion. JULIE watches him a moment, comes over to him and covers him with a shawl. Then she goes on tip-toe to the door at back and remains standing in the doorway, looking out and listening to the droning of the organ.]
THE CURTAIN FALLS
[SCENE THREE]
SCENE—The setting is the same, later that afternoon. LILIOM is sitting opposite FICSUR, who is teaching him a song. JULIE hovers in the background, engaged in some household task.
