Scene 125

Merchant

You! Yes, you! Hello! You're in luck, my friend! Yes indeed, how lucky you are to hear what I'm about to tell you!

Merchant

Oh, but then again, are you the one I should tell?! What a bind, what a bind!

Merchant

Aha, catch your interest, did I? Positively burning with curiosity, are you?!

Merchant

What?! Preposterous...

Merchant

Oh, you are? Splendid! You see, I'm about to embark on a new venture. It's going be a smash hit—I can feel it in my bones!

Merchant

But, I need just a few more supplies to get it off the ground... You'll help me procure some, won't you, friend?

Merchant

Payment? Why, you'll be getting in on the ground floor of this exciting opportunity! Could there be any better payment than that? Of course not!

Merchant

Wonderful, wonderful! Then you'll be needing this! Take care, now. I believe in you!
