No. I have to be very careful.
LILIOM
Of what?
JULIE
My—character.
LILIOM
Why?
JULIE
Because I’m never going to marry. If I was going to marry, it would be different. Then I wouldn’t need to worry so much about my character. It doesn’t make any difference if you’re married. But I shan’t marry—and that’s why I’ve got to take care to be a respectable girl.
