Gerardo. Helen, if you don't calm yourself.... You put me in an awful position.... I have only ten minutes left.... I can't explain in court that your excitement made me break my contract.... I can only give you ten minutes.... If you don't calm yourself in that time.... I can't leave you alone in this condition. Think all you have at stake!
Helen. As though I had anything else at stake!
Gerardo. You can lose your position in society.
Helen. I can lose you!
Gerardo. And your family?
Helen. I care for no one but you.
Gerardo. But I cannot be yours.
Helen. Then I have nothing to lose but my life.
Gerardo. Your children!
Helen. Who has taken me from them, Oscar? Who has taken me from my children?
