Nelson:
Goodbye old battle cruiser.
Mrs. Townly:
A booby, a simpleton.
Nelson:
I never contradict anyone.
(Exit Nelson)
Townly:
Really, my dear wife--
Mrs. Townly:
Shut up, my dear husband--
Lawyer:
May I dare explain to you, Madam--
Mrs. Townly:
I am delighted that you are all against Young Richly. He lacked only
you. Give me the contract that I may sign-- (signing) Come, Angelica,
sign after me. Obey me.
Angelica: (signing)
I still can't be married, because my father won't sign, so there.
Mrs. Townly: (to Edward)
To oblige you, sir, I have put a gift for you in the contract.
Edward: (signing)
Hey! I didn't do it because of the gift. Go ahead, sir, don't waste a
minute for fear Madam will change her mind.
(Townly pushed by his wife, signs)
Lawyer:
These proceedings are closed. (Folds up the contract, bows and exits)
(Lucas whispers to Mrs. Townly)
Mrs. Townly:
What do you say?
Lucas:
I wish to say simply that they love each other.
Townly:
And I only wanted to marry her. No matter to whom.
Mrs. Townly:
I've been betrayed.
Angelica:
I throw myself at your feet, mama.
