Helen. And you are not allowed to ...?
Gerardo. I am not allowed to travel in the company of ladies.
Helen. That's incomprehensible to me. Whom in the world does it concern?
Gerardo. It concerns my manager.
Helen. Your manager?—What business is it of his?
Gerardo. It is his business.
Helen. Perhaps because it might affect your voice?
Gerardo. Yes.
Helen. Why, that's childish!—Does it affect your voice?
Gerardo. It does not.
