Liliom

[Interrupting.] Good evening. Excuse me, sir, can you tell me the time? [Lays his hand over his heart.]


Ficsur

What do you put your hand there for?


Liliom

My heart is jumping—under the knife.


Ficsur

Put it on the other side then. [Looks out at the sky.] It's time we started—we'll walk slow——


Liliom

It's too early.


Ficsur

Come on. [As they are about to go, Julie appears in the doorway at back, obstructing the way.]


Julie

Where are you going with him?


Liliom

Where am I going with him?


Julie

Stay home.
