(Seriously)
Now I see how I came into being. I was your wife, as part of you saw her! (He protests.) She was in your way, as I was in his way. You made Tom close the door on me because, deep in your soul, you wished to close it on her. She never understood.

Stop. You shan’t go any further. She stood by me through all these years of poverty. She loves me and understands.
Marie
(Relentlessly)
But you thought her a fool for loving you. You really thought she ought to go. You wanted her to go, I tell you. You wanted her to see that your art meant more to you than her love. But you didn’t have the courage to do to her what you made him do to me!
