Liliom, Liliom, it will be difficult to help you.
LILIOM
I’m not asking any help.
THE MAGISTRATE
You were offered employment as a caretaker on Arader Street. [To THE FIRST.] Where is that entered?
THE FIRST
In the small docket. [Hands him the open book. THE MAGISTRATE looks in it.]
THE MAGISTRATE
Rooms, kitchen, quarterly wages, the privilege of keeping poultry. Why didn’t you accept it?
