_Dolly._ You mean to marry her?

_Jack._ Of course.

_Dolly (seizes his hand)._ Jack! And you'll be good to her? _(Turns
quickly, without waiting for answer.)_ We must get away from here!

_Jack._ Wait! Let me think. I know a place where they'll never find
us.

_Dolly._ Where is it?

_Jack._ I'll take you to it. Get Belle ready.

_Dolly._ You're sure it's safe?

_Jack._ Absolutely. It might as well be in another world. _(Dolly
runs off Right to Belle. He paces the room, talking to himself.)_
I've got to give it up. I can't play with things like this. I've
lost, I'll take my medicine. Only a month! Gee whiz! _(With sudden
realization.)_ Good-bye to my quarter of a million!

_Bill (appears in doorway, yawning)._ Holy smoke! What's up?

_Jack._ We're going away.

_Bill._ Where to?

_Jack._ I can't tell you now.
