(Girl laughs heartily. Man reluctantly raises his hands and laughs.)

Girl:

I like being gay. Nobody asked you to become impotent!

Man:

Gosh, what a she-devil!

Girl:

I’m going to hurt you, hurt you real bad! Run, I say run!

(Continuous beating of the cymbal. Monk still has not entered.)

Man:

How?

Girl:

Run in a circle around me!

Man:

Do you want everyone to run around you?

Girl:

Aren’t you the same? You won’t be happy until you turn every woman into your slave. (Very excited.) Raise your hand now like you’re throwing a javelin.

Man:

(Screaming.) I’m not a model!

Girl:

Why is it that only women can be models? Now try it and see what it’s like! Didn’t you say this is the age of women? Who told you to lose your sense of imagination? Run! I say run!

Man:

(Running and shouting.) If a woman became God, the world would turn into a pandemonium, much more horrible than it is now. I don’t know, maybe it’d be better, but it’d more likely be much worse, like some chick’s tantrum!

Girl:

So what if for once we were God Almighty? (Blocks his way.) Blindfold yourself!

Man:

Stop fooling around, I beg you. Okay?

Girl:

Oh, so you can fool around but I can’t, is that what you’re saying? If we’re going to fool around, let’s fool around together, you and I, until we both can’t take it any more!
