Florencio. Ah! So this scamp Casalonga is here, is he? Tell me where I can find him!
Zurita. At the Hotel de Europa.
Carolina. Florencio! Don't you go! Hold him back! He means to challenge him.
Zurita. Never! It is not worth the trouble. Besides, you ought to hold yourself above such things. Your wife is above them.
Florencio. But what will people say, friend Zurita? What will people say?
Zurita. Everybody thinks it is a huge joke.
Florencio. A joke? Then our position is ridiculous.
Zurita. I did not say that. What I do say....
Florencio. No, no, friend Zurita; you are a man of honor, you know that it is necessary for me to kill this man.
Carolina. But suppose he is the one who kills you? No, Florencio, not a duel! What is the use of the courts?
