DR. GOLL. I see her to-morrow for the fourth time. Prince Polossov took me. His hair has already got dark yellow again with delight.
SCHÖN. So you find her quite fabulous too.
DR. GOLL. Who ever wants to judge of that beforehand?
LULU. I think someone knocked.
SCHWARZ. Pardon me a moment. (Goes and opens the door.)
DR. GOLL. (To Lulu.) You can safely smile at him with less bashfulness!
SCHÖN. He makes nothing of it.
DR. GOLL. And if he did!—What are we two sitting here for?
