Daisy. I'm not good and I'm not kind. There's no room in my soul for pity. In my soul there's only a raging hunger. If I know what you feel it's because I feel it too. I love you, I love you, I love you.
George. And Harry?
Daisy. What do I care about Harry? I hate him because he's stood between me and you.
George. He is your husband. He is my friend.
Daisy. He doesn't exist. I've loved you always from the first day I saw you. The others were nothing to me, Lee Tai and Harry and the rest. I've loved you always. I've never loved anyone but you. All these years I've kept the letters you wrote to me. I've read them till I know every word by heart. They're all blurred and smudged with the tears I've wept over them. They were all I had. Do you think I'm going to let you go now? All my pain, all my anguish, are nothing any more. I love you and you love me.
George. Oh, don't, don't!
Daisy. You can't leave me now. If you leave me I shall kill myself.
George. I must go away. I must never see you again. Whatever happens we must never meet.
Daisy. [Exasperated and impatient.] That's impossible. What will you say to Harry?
George. If need be I'll tell him the truth.
