JACK. (Turning.) Good night! Good night!
LULU. (Holds him back.) No, no! Stay, for God's sake!
JACK. (Goes past Geschwitz and opens the cubicle.) Why should I stay here till morning? Sounds suspicious! When I'm asleep they'll turn my pockets out.
LULU. No, I won't do that! No one will! Don't go away again for that! I beg you!
JACK. How much do you want?
LULU. Then give me the half of what I said!
JACK. No, that's too much. You don't seem to have been at this long?
LULU. To-day is the first time. (She jerks back Geschwitz, on her knees still, half turned toward Jack, by the straps around her neck.) Lie down and be quiet!
JACK. Let her alone! She isn't your sister. She is in love with you. (Strokes Geschwitz's head like a dog's.) Poor beast!
LULU. Why do you stare at me so all at once?
