Glyszinski. Thanks for your sympathy!
Paul. You are badly off the track, and will hardly get on again, unless you are warned in time. Whether or not that will do you any good, is your affair.
Glyszinski (agitated). But what does all of this mean? I don't understand you.
Paul (very seriously). In a word, that means: look out for women who are like Hella! Look out for that ilk! That tells the whole story! The whole story!
Glyszinski (jumps up). And you expect me to follow that advice?
Paul. Do not follow it, but don't be surprised later on if you find yourself in the position in which I am today. It has taken me ten to twelve years to arrive at it. Half of that time will suffice for you.
Glyszinski. Why that is sheer nonsense! Your position is estimable enough.
Paul. I am a bankrupt! That's all!
Glyszinski (greatly excited). Imagination, pure imagination! You have your position! You have a name in the movement!
Paul (bitterly). Oh yes! This movement!
