Helena. Look, Primus, what are all these figures? (Turns a page in book on table.)
Primus. (Examining the book) That is the book the old man is always reading. (SUNRISE.)
Helena. I do not understand those things. (Goes to window) Primus.
Primus. (Still at table) What?
Helena. The sun is rising.
Primus. (Still reading) I believe this is the most important thing in the world, Helena. This is the secret of life.
Helena. Oh, Primus, don’t bother with the secret of life. What does it matter to you? Come and look quick.
