KATE. Yes. There's one thing. There's another man.
LAURA. Are you serious?
KATE. He is. Serious, and rich, and--sixty.
LAURA. That beastly old man!
KATE. Every time he said "I'm an old man" I'd say, "Oh, no, Mr. Selden" till I convinced him.
LAURA. So what, Kate?
KATE. So he thinks he wants me for myself alone. He isn't the least bit vicarious.
LAURA. Kate, do be serious.
KATE. He wants to reduce his income tax by gifts to eleemosynary institutions. Don't I look eleemosynary?
LAURA. No. Nor mercenary, either.
