LULU. (Throws herself on the ottoman.) Don't look at me so—for God's sake! Let us go before it is too late. You're an infamous wretch!
ALVA. I told you, didn't I, I was the basest villain.
LULU. I see that!
ALVA. I have no sense of honor, no pride....
LULU. You think I am your equal!
ALVA. You?—you are as heavenly high above me as—as the sun is over the abyss! (Kneeling.) Destroy me! I beg you, put an end to me! Put an end to me!
LULU. Do you love me then?
ALVA. I will pay you with everything that was mine!
LULU. Do you love me?
ALVA. Do you love me—Mignon?
