Thekla. You've come, then, to warn me?
Gustav. I've come to demand back what you stole from me, not what you had as a present. You stole my honor, and I could only win back mine by taking yours—wasn't I right?
Thekla [after a pause, going over to him on the right]. Honor! Hm! And are you satisfied now?
Gustav [after a pause]. I am satisfied now.
[He presses the bell by the door L. for the Waiter.]
Thekla [after another pause]. And now you're going to your bride, Gustav?
Gustav. I have none—and shall never have one. I am not going home because I have no home, and shall never have one.
