Alquist
Wait girl, wait! [To Primus]: Do you not wish to live, then?
Primus
Not without her! I will not live without her.
Alquist
Very well; you shall take her place.
Helena
Primus! Primus! [She bursts into tears.]
Alquist
Child, child, you can weep! Why these tears? What is Primus to you? One Primus more or less in the world—what does it matter?
Helena
I will go myself.
Alquist
Where?
Helena
In there to be cut. [She starts toward the dissecting room. Primus stops her.] Let me pass, Primus! Let me pass!
