(Exit. Lulu puts her left foot on a foot-stool, fastens her garter, and goes out into the card-room. Then Rodrigo is cuffed in from the dining-room, lower left, by Casti-Piani.) SCHIGOLCH. RODRIGO. You can treat me decently anyway! RODRIGO. CASTI-PIANI. (Still perfectly unemotional.) Whatever [Pg 50] would induce me to do that? I will know what you said to her here a little while ago. CASTI-PIANI. [Pg 50] RODRIGO. Then you can be very fond of me! RODRIGO. CASTI-PIANI. Will you bandy words with me, dog? You demanded that she go up in the lift with you! CASTI-PIANI. RODRIGO. That's a shameless, perfidious lie! RODRIGO. CASTI-PIANI. She told me so herself. You threatened to denounce her if she didn't go with you.—Shall I shoot you on the spot? CASTI-PIANI.
