GER. But surely... you don't expect to marry!
HAGEN. Why not? My mother was an earth-woman, and her mother, also.
GER. To be sure. I'd not realized it. [A pause.] Who is the woman?
HAGEN. I don't know. I only know she belongs in this world of yours. And I've come to seek her out. I shall get her, never fear!
GER. What are your plans?
HAGEN. I've looked this Christian civilization of yours over... and I'm prepared to play the game. You can take me up and put me into Society... as you offered to do before. You'll find that I'll do you credit.
GER. But such a career requires money.
HAGEN. Of course. Alberich will furnish it, if you tell him it's needed. You must call Mimi.
GER. Mimi is here now.
HAGEN. [Starting.] What!
