DAVID: Hi!

JUANITA: Hello, darling. You're back nice and early today.

DAVID: Yeah, that’s right. My six o'clock class was canceled, because the students went on an excursion to Buckington Castle.

JUANITA: I thought you already took them to Buckington Castle last week.

DAVID: Did I? Oh, yeah. Well, I guess they liked it so much they decided to go back there.

JUANITA: Anyway, darling, it means we can have a nice, quiet evening together, eh? Sigismonda's asleep, and I'm cooking us a special dinner.

DAVID: Oh, right! Look, uh, darling, unfortunately, I've got to go out with some of the students this evening. It's a real drag, you know.

JUANITA: I thought they'd gone to Buckington Castle.

DAVID: Yes, but they're coming back this evening, you know, especially for this - this, drink thing. Look, I'm sorry, dear, but it's one of my duties as a teacher to entertain the students, and all that. You know I hate doing it.

JUANITA: Then why do you keep on doing it? Why do you keep on teaching at that school, complaining to me all the time, but never doing anything about it? I've had enough of this, David! Enough - do you understand?

JUANITA: When I married you, I thought you were going to do great things! I thought you were so clever! I thought you were capable of doing anything, but you're not, David! You're not a real man! You're not strong enough - you're just a weak frightened little boy, afraid of the world! When are you going to do something with your life? Well?? For God's sake say something - don't just stand there!

DAVID: Look, why don't I call the school and arrange to go out with the students tomorrow night instead?

JUANITA: Is that all you can say! No, go out with them now! This minute! Go on - go!

DAVID: Look darling, maybe if we just talked about this -

JUANITA: Get out!

DAVID: Oh, hell!
