_Belle._ Good-bye, Jack.

_Jack._ You're going off like that? You won't even let me help you
home?

_Belle._ Thank you, Jack. I'll get along. _(Jack starts towards her,
but she continues to the door. When almost there she staggers.)_

_Dolly (trying to hold her)._ Belle! What's the matter?

_Jack (leaps to help her)._ There! You see! You'll _have_ to let me
help her! She can't walk, I tell you! See now, I'm strong, I can
almost carry her. This way, Belle--now we'll go all right. And
you'll have a good rest and get well and then come back----_(Exit
with Belle and Dolly.)_

_Schmidt._ Und they go out und don't tell me who is coming back in
der morning! Und dey leave me to shut up mine restaurant by
mineself! _(Shakes fist.)_ All right! Ven you come back to-morrow I
send you up to Schnitzelman on der next block! I don't have you come
by my restaurant und eat double orders of beef stew und coffee! No,
sir! I run mine little restaurant for mineself a while! I got so
many debts, und I don't get no customers, I don't make no money by
mine liddle place! When you come back here you don't find no
job--you go up to Schnitzelman for your double orders! _(Loud fire
alarm heard. Play-play fades.)_

_Will._ What's that?
