But for God's sake, who is asking you to? Stop working. Don't scrub.
PELAGUEYA
Yes, stop it, and all of you will be going about saying: "How dirty the house is!"
LIPA (weary from the heat and Pelagueya's talk)
Oh, I'm so tired of it!
PELAGUEYA
Don't you think I feel tired too? What are you complaining about anyhow? You are a lady. All you have to do is pray and read. I don't even get time to pray. Some day I'll drop into the next world all of a sudden just as I am, with my skirt tucked up under my belt: "Good morning! How d'you do!"
LIPA
You'll be scrubbing floors in the next world too.
