LULU. SCHWARZ. You are nervous ... (Tries to seize her hand.) SCHWARZ. LULU. (Throws the crook in his face.) Let me alone! (Hurries to the entrance door.) You don't get me for a long time yet. LULU. SCHWARZ. You can't understand a joke. SCHWARZ. LULU. Oh, yes I can. I understand everything. Just you leave me be. You'll get nothing at all from me by force. Go to your work. You have no right to molest me. (Flees behind the ottoman.) Sit down behind your easel! LULU. SCHWARZ. (Trying to get around the ottoman.) As soon as I've punished you—you wayward, capricious— SCHWARZ. LULU. But you must have me, first! Go away. You [Page 26] can't catch me. In long clothes I'd have fallen into your clutches long ago—but in the Pierrot! LULU. [Page 26] SCHWARZ. (Throwing himself across the ottoman.) I've got you! SCHWARZ. LULU. (Hurls the tiger-skin over his head.) Good-night! (Jumps over the platform and climbs up the step-ladder.) I can see away over all the cities of the earth. LULU. SCHWARZ. (Unrolling himself from the rug.) This old skin!! SCHWARZ.
