Glyszinski (gloomily). Paul is not a modern man. I knew that long ago.

Hella. Let us avoid all digressions now! (With unflinching emphasis.) Paul must ... not ... remain here! Do you understand?

Glyszinski. What can I do in the matter?

Hella (taps her finger on his chest). You must help me get him away from here as soon as possible!

Glyszinski. And you would ask me to do that?

Hella. Why shouldn't I?

Glyszinski. Expect me to help reestablish the bond between you? Don't be inhuman, Hella!

Hella. But you surely realize the relations that obtain between you and me, doctor. You are my co-worker, my friend!

Glyszinski. Is that all, Hella?

Hella. Why, do you demand more? Beyond friendship I can give you nothing! No, it will be better for you to help me plan how we can get him away most readily. Rather today than tomorrow.
