MRS. BAUER. Fritzi! If papa was to hear....
[Mrs. Bauer goes out.
FRITZI. [Sidling up to Karl.] Miau! Miau!
KARL. You shut up that. Didn't mama tell you?
FRITZI. When I'm a man I'm going to get arrested. I'll shoot Henny Nies.
KARL. [Contemptuously.] Yes, you'll do a lot of shooting.
[Fritzi punches Karl in back.
KARL. [Striking at Fritzi.] You're as big a tough as Henny Nies.
FRITZI. [Proud of this alleged likeness.] I'm going to be a man just like my father; I'll holler and make them stand around.
KARL. [With conviction.] What you need is a good licking.
