How lovely you are, showing everything like that… How impatient you are I You want it all already, I can see that…
FANNY
Say rather I am on fire with lust. Begin, oh do begin!
GAMIANI
Oh, let us keep up this delightful preparation a little longer. It is so delightful. Relax a little more. Ah, so is very well. You look as though you were dead… delicious abandonment. That's right. Now I am going to seize you, warm you up, bring you gradually back to life. I am going to set your feelings on fire, to raise you to the heights of sensual delight. Then you will fall again as if dead, but dying of pleasure and of excesses. Delightful unknown things! To taste these joys for two seconds only will be a god-like joy!
FANNY
Your speech tortures me with inward fire. Get on with it, Gamiani.
