The buffet here is closed, and he has to get the sandwiches somewhere else. Consuelo, as your father, I want to warn you about He. Don't trust him. He knows something. [Twirls his finger close to his forehead.] His game is not fair.

Consuelo

You say it about everybody. I know He; he is such a nice man, and he loves me so much.

Mancini

Believe me, there is something in it.

Consuelo

Father, you make me sick with your advice. Ah! He, thank you.

[HE, breathing somewhat heavily, enters and gives her the sandwiches.]
