LULU. He'll take good care of himself!
SCHIGOLCH. We're rid of him!—And now some black coffee for the lady!
ALVA. (At the table left.) Here is coffee, ready to pour.
SCHIGOLCH. I must look after the sleeping-car tickets.
LULU. (Brightly.) Oh, freedom! Thank God for freedom!
SCHIGOLCH. I'll be back for you in half an hour. We'll celebrate our departure in the station-restaurant. I'll order a supper that'll keep us going till to-morrow.—Good morning, doctor.
ALVA. Good evening.
SCHIGOLCH. Pleasant rest!—Thanks, I know every door-handle here. So long! Have a good time! (Exit.)
LULU. I haven't seen a room for a year and a half. Curtains, chairs, pictures....
ALVA. Won't you drink it?
