_
OLIVIA: Somebody's watching the bungalow....
_He looks at her, as if he did not understand._
DAN (_fiercely_): Nobody's watching!... (_He runs to the window.
She backs into the corner of the room._)
I'm the one that watches! They've got no call to watch me! I'll go out
and tell them that, an' all! (_Opening the curtains in a frenzy_)
I'm the one that watches!
_The light crosses the window again. He stares, then claps his hands
over his eyes.
(Backing to the sofa_) Behind them trees.
(_Clutching the invalid chair_) Hundreds back of each tree....
Thousands of eyes. The whole damn world's on my track!... (_Sitting
on the edge of the sofa, and listening_) What's that?... Like a big
wall fallin' over into the sea.... (_Closing his hands over his ears
convulsively_.)
OLIVIA (_coming down to him_): They mustn't come in....
DAN (_turning to her_): Yes, but ... (_Staring_) you're
lookin' at me as if you never see'd me before....
OLIVIA: I never have. Nobody has. You've stopped acting at last. You're
real. Frightened. Like a child.
