Erdgeist (Earth-Spirit): A Tragedy in Four Acts
DR. GOLL.

LULU. (Inside.) Just a second!

LULU.

DR. GOLL. (To Schön.) I can't get onto these blockheads. (Referring to Schwarz.)

DR. GOLL.

SCHÖN. I can't help envying them. These blockheads know nothing holier than an altar-cloth, and feel richer than you and me with 30,000-mark incomes. Besides, you can't be judge of a man who from childhood has lived from palette to mouth. Try to get at his finances: it's an arithmetic example! I haven't the moral courage, and one can easily burn one's fingers at it, too.

SCHÖN.

LULU. (As Pierrot, steps out of the bed-room.) Here I am!

LULU.

SCHÖN. (Turns; after a pause.) Superb!

SCHÖN.

LULU. (Nearer.) Well?

LULU.

SCHÖN. You put shame on the boldest fancy.

SCHÖN.

LULU. How do you like me?

LULU.

SCHÖN. A picture before which art must despair.

SCHÖN.

DR. GOLL. Don't you think so, too?
