Would you be pleased? Violet, I want so little from you. How can it hurt you to give me that? Let us give ourselves a chance to be happy.
Violet.
We shall never be happy. Never. The only thing we can do is to part, and I can't let you go. I can't. I can't. It's asking too much of me.
Ronny.
I love you with all my heart and soul. I didn't know it was possible to love anyone as I love you.
[Arthur is heard gaily whistling to himself.]
Violet.
There's Arthur!
Ronny.
[Quickly.] Shall I go?
