Anna. Paolo—Paolo!
Paolo. And if I wish it?
Anna. You cannot wish it.
Paolo. And if I want?
Anna. Paolo!—
Paolo. And if I command?
Anna. You will, in one moment, destroy all my plan. Think—your violence is a liberation for me.
Paolo. Oh, come—or speak!
Anna. Do you wish it so? We have come to that? I have done all that I could.
Paolo. Yes, go on. Speak!
