(Enter Flavella)
Flavella
Someplace you are not.
Spruce
There's tit for tat.
Flavella I am going to Urania's to tell her she may have you. Love her, I consent. I give her to you. I vow, henceforth, to flee you like a monster and never see you more.
Captain
Madame—
Flavella
In return for the most intense love, what do I receive from you?
Injury and invective! It seems I appear to you without honor, wit or
attraction.
Captain
Madame, listen to me—
Flavella Never. I don't understand how it is possible to be so brutal or to have the audacity, the cold blood, to say such hard things to my very face.
Captain
You know that in a public place—
Flavella
I don't know a thing.
