HAGEN. I would dare anything for you! [They gaze at each other.] Don't you understand?
EST. [Vehemently.] No! No! I am afraid of you! You have no business to be here!
HAGEN. [Taking a step towards her.] Listen...
EST. No! I will not hear you! You cannot come here!
[Stares at him, then abruptly exit, centre.]
HAGEN. [Laughs.] Humph! [Hearing voices.] Who is this?
RUTH. [Off right.] I don't agree with you.
IS. Nor I, either, Plimpton. [Enters with PLIMPTON and RUTHERFORD; sees HAGEN.] Oh... I beg your pardon.
HAGEN. I am waiting for your son, Sir.
IS. I see. Won't you be seated?
