Uncle Richard
Do you prefer poverty for its own sake?
Richard
Of course not. But I prefer it to hypocrisy and compromise.
Uncle Richard
Well then. You will accept, Richard? For my sake, Richard?
Richard
Well....
Uncle Richard
It is the only pleasure left to me, Richard, thinking of the old name going down honourably in you. And as for the past, my mistakes were due to not having a son of my own. You have no idea what a difference it makes. It's my dream, Richard, don't destroy it!
