Good! Then build it for me! This moment!

Solness.

[Laughing.] Must you have that on the instant, too?

Hilda.

Yes, to be sure! For the ten years are up now, and I am not going to wait any longer. So—out with the castle, Mr. Solness!

Solness.

It’s no light matter to owe you anything, Hilda.

Hilda.

You should have thought of that before. It is too late now. So—[tapping the table]—the castle on the table! It is my castle! I will have it at once!

Solness.
