LULU. You needn't complain. When you are happy you're a hundred thousand times happier than one of us ordinary mortals ever is!
GESCHWITZ. I know that too! I envy no one! But I am still waiting. You have deceived me so often already.
LULU. I am yours, my darling, if you quiet Mr. Acrobat till to-morrow. He only wants his vanity placated. You must beseech him to take pity on you.
GESCHWITZ. And to-morrow?
LULU. I await you, my heart. I shall not open my eyes till you come: see no chambermaid, receive no hair-dresser, not open my eyes before you are with me.
GESCHWITZ. Then let him come.
LULU. But you must throw yourself at his head, dear! Have you got the house-number?
GESCHWITZ. Three-seventy-six. But quick now!
LULU. (Calls into the dining-room.) Ready, my darling?
RODRIGO. (Entering.) The ladies will pardon my mouth's being full.
