LULU. (Holds out her glass to him.) A little more, please.

ALVA. He believes in nothing.
LULU. He brought me into the theater in order that someone might eventually be found rich enough to marry me.

ALVA. God defend that anyone should take you from us!
LULU. You've composed the music for it, though.
