VILLAIN. Your loyalty gratifies me very much.
"Old Man." [Who is sitting apathetically upon the trunk.] What the deuce is urging you to go?
VILLAIN. I wanted to explain to you, but now no more. I owe you no explanations. I have decided—I wish to go, and that is sufficient.
COMEDIAN. He plays his comedy wonderfully. Would you ever have suspected that there was so much wit in his cabbage head?
WOMEN. [Making love to the Villain.] Oh, you darling.
TRAGEDIAN. [Majestically.] I wouldn't give him even a single glance.
VILLAIN. Still another on the blacklist. I'll tell you this much—I have decided——
COMEDIAN. Ha-ha-ha! How long will you keep this up?
VILLAIN. We start at once, but if I am to pay for your food I will not carry any baggage. You shall divide my bundles among you and of course those who are on the blacklist will get the heaviest share. You heard me. Now move on. I'm going now. We will proceed to the nearest town, which is thirty miles away. Now, then, I am off.
COMEDIAN. Bon voyage.
