Brendel.

You have preserved your child-like heart, Johannes. Can you grant me a loan?

Rosmer.

Yes, yes, most willingly!

Brendel.

Can you spare me an ideal or two?

Rosmer.

What do you say?

Brendel.

One or two cast-off ideals. It would be an act of charity. For I’m cleaned out, my boy. Ruined, beggared.
