SCHWARZ. But you, help me, please.

SCHWARZ.

LULU. The two of us together couldn't lift him.

LULU.

SCHWARZ. (Straightening up.) We must send for a doctor.

SCHWARZ.

LULU. He is fearfully heavy.

LULU.

SCHWARZ. (Getting his hat.) Please, though, be so good as to put the place a little to rights while I'm away. (He goes out.)

SCHWARZ.

LULU. He'll spring up all at once. (Intensely.) Bussi! He just won't notice anything. (Comes down-stage in a wide circle.) He sees my feet, and watches every step I take. He has his eye on me everywhere. (Touches him with her toe.) Bussi! (Flinching, backward.) It's serious with him. The dance is over. He'll send me to prison. What shall I do? (Leans over, to the floor.) A strange, wild face! (Getting up.) And no one to do him the last services—isn't that sad! (Schwarz returns.)

LULU.

SCHWARZ. Still not come to himself?

SCHWARZ.

LULU. (Down right.) What shall I do?

LULU.

SCHWARZ. (Bending over Goll.) Doctor Goll.

SCHWARZ.

LULU. I almost think it's serious.
