John.[Brutally.] Yes, a little while ago, but now we’ve got something else to think of.
Julie. Don’t talk brutally to me.
John. No, but I’ll talk sense. We’ve made fools of ourselves once, don’t let’s do it again. The Count may turn up any minute and we’ve got to map out our lives in advance. What do you think of my plans for the future? Do you agree?
Julie. They seem quite nice, but one question—you need large capital for so great an undertaking—have you got it?
John.[Going on- smoking.] Have I got it? Of course I have. I’ve got my special knowledge, my exceptional experience, my knowledge of languages, that’s a capital which is worth something, seems to me.
Julie. But we can’t buy a. single railway ticket with all that.
John. That’s true enough, and so I’ll look for somebody who can put up the money.
Julie. Where can you find a man like that all at once?
John. Then you’ll have to find him, if you’re going to be my companion.
Julie. I can’t do that, and I’ve got nothing myself. [Pause.]
