THE MAKROPOULOS SECRET

This evening I shall go to the theater, but not to see Marty—I shall go to see you.

You’ll be foolish not to look at Marty all the time—and blind, too. [''Realizing her audacity she stops. Then, to cover her confusion, she curtseys''] But I thank you, just the same.

That’s enough. [To Gregor] Oh, she’s such a silly little goose.

Well, he ought not to talk about Marty if he hasn’t seen her. Everyone’s crazy about her. Everyone!

[Entering briskly]

Why, here’s Kristina. How do you do, Kristina. Ah, and my client. How are you?

How did we come out?

[Handing his hat and coat to Vitek]

We didn’t. The Supreme Court adjourned.

For another conference?

No, for dinner.
