You seem to think that I can’t throw you out, too. What’s the reason I can’t? Because you are the best barker in the park? Well, you are very much mistaken. In fact, you can consider yourself thrown out already. You’re discharged!

LILIOM

Very good.

MRS. MUSKAT

[Weakening a little.] I can discharge you any time I feel like it.

LILIOM

Very good, you feel like discharging me. I’m discharged. That settles it.

MRS. MUSKAT

Playing the high and mighty, are you? Conceited pig! Good-for-nothing!
