See here--are you chaffing me?
Ebeling.
I'm only trying to make you understand that you've unwittingly walked into the enemy's camp.
v. Tietz (standing up).
Very well--if you don't want to----
Ebeling.
(Also stands up, and puts his hand on v. Tietz's shoulder.) My dear fellow, you're ten years younger than I. You're one of your country's young hopefuls. Go ahead and do what your heart and pocket-book bid you.
v. Tietz.
I didn't need you to tell me that. (A knock at the door.)
Ebeling.
