LULU. (Begging like a child.) Just a minute more! Please! I can't stand up straight yet. They'll ring.
SCHÖN. You have become what you are in spite of everything I sacrificed for your education and your welfare.
LULU. Had you overrated your ennobling influence?
SCHÖN. Spare me your witticisms.
LULU. The prince was here.
SCHÖN. Well?
LULU. He takes me with him to Africa.
SCHÖN. Africa?
LULU. Why not? Didn't you make me a dancer just so that someone might come and take me away with him?
SCHÖN. But not to Africa, though!
