George. It just happens that the last two or three times you've asked me to dine I've been engaged.
Daisy. [Her voice breaking.] You promised that we'd be friends. What have I done to turn you against me?
George. [His armour pierced by the emotion in her voice.] Oh, Daisy, don't speak like that.
Daisy. I've tried to do everything I could to please you. If there's anything I do that you don't like, won't you tell me? I promise you I won't do it.
George. Oh, my dear child, you make me feel such an awful beast.
Daisy. Is it the past that you can't forget?
George. Good heavens, no, what do I care about the past?
Daisy. I have so few friends. I'm so awfully fond of you, George.
George. I don't think I've given you much cause to be that.
Daisy. There must be some reason why you won't ever come near me. Why won't you tell me?
