Hauptmann, Gerhart, 1862-1946

"The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann Volume I"

D'you hear me? An' take a flat stone an' put it across. But
don't be so long doin' it.
JULIUS
I thought you was goin' to pay an instalment to Fischer!
MRS. WOLFF
Can't you never do what I tell you to? Don't poke round so long,
y'understand?
JULIUS
Don't you go an' rile me or I'll give you somethin' to make you stop. I
don't hold with that money stayin' in this here house.
MRS. WOLFF
Well, what's goin' to be done with it?
JULIUS
You take it an' you carry it over to Fischer. You said we was goin' to
use it to make a payment to him.
MRS. WOLFF
You're stoopid enough to make a person sick. If it wasn't for me you'd
just go to the dogs.
JULIUS
Go on with your screamin'! That's right.
MRS. WOLFF
A person can't help screamin', you're such a fool. If you had some sense,
I wouldn't have to scream. If we go an' takes that money to Fischer now,
you look out an' see what happens!
JULIUS
That's what I say. Look at the whole dam' business. What's the good of it
to me if I gotta go to gaol!
MRS. WOLFF
Now it's about time you was keepin' still.
JULIUS
You can't scream no louder, can you?
MRS. WOLFF
I ain't goin' to get me a new tongue on your account.
