The Gift of Love1978

Franz Hollner:
[to Mary] And when Rudy told me, I said he must be mistaken.

Rudi Miller:
There is no mistake. The young lady was playing a cruel trick common to people in her station!

Franz Hollner:
[to Mary] And you allowed it, which forces me to change my estimation of you.

Rudi Miller:
I too would have though better of you.

Mary O'Halloran:
[Angry] Stop, both of you! What you're saying to me, well maybe I deserve it. But all that stuff about Beth, that's just rubbish! [Mocking] "A cruel trick common to people in her station." What station? This isn't Europe and all! She's not a princess, she's just a poor old orphan being forced to marry a man she doesn't love. So she hung out with me for a bit of fun.

Rudi Miller:
And represented herself as someone she was not!

Mary O'Halloran:
That was my idea, not hers!

Rudi Miller:
She did nothing to mistaken my belief she was a maid in this house!

Mary O'Halloran:
And why should she? And why should I be standing here, defending the two of you like I'm in a docket [sp?] ? I would prefer that you both leave! [Pushes them away]

Franz Hollner:
With pleasure. [They turn around, then look at Mary. They exit]

Mary O'Halloran:
Foreigners!
