POTIPHAR. (alarmed) No! No! I don't want to see them. . . . I just want to know that everything is getting on well.
JOSEPH. Everything is getting along quite well.
POTIPHAR. Very good. I have complete confidence in you. . . . Joseph— you have a mathematical mind; how long would you say it would take a woman to do her hair?
JOSEPH. Not less than half an hour, sir—especially if she has something to talk about with another woman while she is doing it.
POTIPHAR. (surprised) What should they have to talk about?
JOSEPH. Secrets.
POTIPHAR. Secrets?
JOSEPH. What things are women especially interested in, sir?
POTIPHAR. Dress, perhaps?
JOSEPH. Perhaps.
