THE MAKROPOULOS SECRET
act i
Emilia
And is Loukov worth so much trouble?
Gregor
I should say so.
Kolonaty
In the sixties coal was found on the Loukov property. The price cannot be estimated, even approximately—but let us say one hundred and fifty millions.
Emilia
Anything more?
Gregor
No, nothing more. That would be quite enough for me.
Kolonaty
Now, my dear lady, have you any more questions?
Emilia
Yes. What do you need to win the case?
Kolonaty
[With a touch of sarcastic humor]
Well, of course, I should like best of all to have the true, written will.
Emilia
And do you know of one?
Kolonaty
We found none.
