IS. I mean in the Street.
HAGEN. Oh! Have you been hit?
IS. Don't mock me. You have used your resources deliberately to ruin me. You have followed me... you have taken every railroad in which I am interested, and driven it to the wall. And I ask you, man to man, what do you want?
HAGEN. [After some thought.] Isman, listen to me. You remember four months ago I offered you a business alliance?
IS. I had no idea of your resources then. Had I known, I should not have rejected your offer. Am I being punished for that?
HAGEN. No, Isman... it isn't punishment. Had you gone into the alliance with me it would have been just the same. It was my purpose to get you into my power.
IS. Oh!
HAGEN. To bring you here... to make you sit down before me, and ask, What do you want?... And so I will tell you what I want, man to man! [A pause.] I want your daughter.
IS. [Starts.] What!
HAGEN. I want your daughter.
