EMIL: Oh, well—Jesus, if you're going to talk about that—! You can't change the way things are.

MADELINE: (quietly) Why can't I?

EMIL: Well, say, who do you think you are?

MADELINE: I think I'm an American. And for that reason I think I have something to say about America.

EMIL: Huh! America'll lock you up for your pains.

MADELINE: All right. If it's come to that, maybe I'd rather be a locked-up American than a free American.

EMIL: I don't think you'd like the place, Madeline. There's not much tennis played there. Jesus—what's Hindus?

MADELINE: You aren't really asking Jesus, are you, Emil? (smiles) You mightn't like his answer.

EMIL: (from the door) Take a tip. Telephone your uncle.

(He goes.)
