[The Police Magistrate enters. He has a long white beard, is bald, but only in profile can be seen on his head a single tuft of snow-white hair. The Guard reënters behind him and sits on the bench with the dead men. As the Magistrate enters, all rise, except Liliom, who remains surlily seated. When the Magistrate sits down, so do the others.]
The Guard

The Magistrate
Number 16,472.
The First

The Magistrate
Your name?
