比雅特莉斯•斯坦霍普:乔治。
森林王乔治:噢。
比雅特莉斯:我想……谈一谈。你可以和我到外面去吗……(侍者递给他一杯啤酒)非常感谢……(面对乔治)就一会儿?
乔治:当然。
女人:你好,比雅特莉斯。
比雅特莉斯:你好,你好。噢,我们认识不是很久,乔治,但我已经知道你的一些事情。
乔治:哦?
比雅特莉斯:你爱上我的女儿。
乔治:噢,俄苏拉夫人,不至于那么笨……
比雅特莉斯:很好,然而我所关心的是俄苏拉好像也喜欢你,那对我才是一个问题。你知道你和俄苏拉在一起不适合她的社会地位。你明白吗?换句话说,你也许能明白,你来的地方,斑马配斑马,猎豹配猎豹,门当门,户对户,哦,俄苏拉和你门不当户不对,这个问题我想尽快地解决。
乔治:那么你要俄苏拉爱乔治。
比雅特莉斯:那我宁愿每天早餐都把舌头钉在这张桌子上。
乔治:那样会痛的。
比雅特莉斯:如果你做出什么事破坏我女儿和莱尔•冯•鲁特的婚礼,你会更痛。当莱尔回来后,婚礼会按计划举行。如果你捣乱的话,我会腌了你,这样就不用围遮羞布了。
侍者:斯坦霍普夫人,要盐锔牛扒吗?
比雅特莉斯:噢,不,谢谢,今天吃了够多的蛋白质了。森林先生, 祝你有一个愉快的夜晚。
