GEORGE. He's gone off with dad.
MINNIE. It's nine o'clock.
(She hands him the glass, he drinks the contents and sets the glass
on the table. Then he takes her hands and draws her to him and
kisses her. She submits almost passively.)
Why are you doing this, George?
GEORGE. Because I love you, because I need you, because I'm going to marry you.
MINNIE (shaking her head: slowly). No you're not.
GEORGE. Why not?
MINNIE. You know why not, as well as I do.
(She gazes up at him. He is still holding her in his arms.
Suddenly she kisses him passionately, breaks away from him and
starts to fly from the room, when she runs into DR. JONATHAN, who is
entering, lower right.)
DR. JONATHAN. Where are you going, Minnie?
