DIDIER (outside of the balcony and turned toward the street).
You are safe;
Now go your way!
SAVERNY (from outside).
Not 'til I've grasped your hand—
Not 'til I've thanked you, if you please!
DIDIER.
Pass on!
I will consider myself thanked.
SAVERNY.
Not so!
I mean to thank you. [Scaling balcony.
DIDIER.
Can't you speak from there
And say "I thank you" without coming up?
