MIMI
She's a nice one, Mrs. Zanden! Instead of taking you on herself, she marries you to a friend of hers. But I don't care; you don't love me any more—doing landscapes all the time.
KARL
Well, what do you want?
MIMI, crosses to R. of him and kneels
Tell me you do love me. (Pouting.)
KARL, bored
Yes, yes—of course.
MIMI, imitating him
Yes, yes, of course. Is that the best you can do?
