[With a stare.] I'm not sorry for anything.

Liliom, Liliom, it will be difficult to help you.

I'm not asking any help.

You were offered employment as a caretaker on Arader Street. [To .] Where is that entered?

In the small docket. [''Hands him the open book. looks in it.'']

Rooms, kitchen, quarterly wages, the privilege of keeping poultry. Why didn't you accept it?

I'm not a caretaker. I'm no good at caretaking. To be a caretaker—you have to be a caretaker

If I said to you now: Liliom, go back on your stretcher. Tomorrow morning you will arise alive and well again. Would you be a caretaker then?
