Liliom
You said you'd throw me out, didn't you? Well, that suits me; I'm thrown out.
Mrs. Muskat
[Softening.] Do you have to take up every word I say?
Liliom
It's all right; it's all settled. I'm a good-for-nothing. And a conceited pig. And I'm discharged.
Mrs. Muskat
Do you want to ruin my business?
Liliom
A good-for-nothing? Now I know! And I'm discharged! Very good.
Mrs. Muskat
You're a devil, you are . . . and that woman
Liliom
Keep away from her!
Mrs. Muskat
I'll get Hollinger to give you such a beating that you'll hear all the angels sing . . . and it won't be the first time, either.
