Arabella I will need a hundred crowns. Lend them me, sir, to pay for expenses and to bribe the judge in my unfortunate case.
Albert You dream, my child,—but to satisfy you, I will advance expenses and make your case my business.
Arabella
If I don't have money today, I'll be in despair.
Albert
But think, child—
Arabella
You're an honest man. Don’t refuse to give me that sum.
Albert
I intend to humor her.
Worthy

Jenny If you resist her, she's the type of girl to go throw herself out the window.
Albert
I agree.
Jenny I remember that you recently received about a hundred crowns. What risks is there in falling in with her wishes?
