[Enter Second Friend.]

SECOND FRIEND. [Walking straight up to the table.] Good day, Goran!
Do you remember me? [Pehr Stares at him.] No you don't, but I
remember you. You see, I never forget my old friends! In the hour
of need I look them up. Here you sit and eat and I have nothing to
eat, therefore I say right out: Boy, here am I! [Seats himself at
table.]

FIRST FRIEND. [To Pehr.] Who is that tramp? He eats as though he
had not seen food from Christmas to Easter!

PEHR. Oh, he's a friend of mine.

SECOND FRIEND. [To Pehr.] Who is that beggar? He stuffs himself
like a. wolf in the springtime!

PEHR. Oh, he is a good friend of mine.

FIRST FRIEND. [To Pehr.] Beware false friends, Pehr!

SECOND FRIEND. [To Pehr.] Beware false friends, Pehr!

PEHR. Yes, yes!

FIRST FRIEND. [To Pehr.] You'll see, he is going to borrow money
from you.

SECOND FRIEND. [To Pehr.] If he asks for a loan from you, you must
say no--for he never pays.
