BAAL 
Are you the one? 

WOMAN 
Oh.  Uh... where's your friend? 

BAAL 
Making music. 

WOMAN 
Tell him I came to see him... 

BAAL 
(shaking his head) You wouldn't.  He's almost transparent now.  He's so thin. 
He masturbates too much, if you ask me.  He's studying zoology, the animal.  Sit down. 

WOMAN 
No.  Thanks. 

BAAL 
(standing, approaching her) He's been sucking too many eggs lately. 

WOMAN 
I love him... 

BAAL 
(grabbing her) So what. 

WOMAN 
Let me go!

BAAL 
(touching her throat) So this is your white neck...  Do you know how little white 
birds are finished off, when they're caught? 

WOMAN 
(struggling) No!  Let me go! 

BAAL 
No, with those trembling knees of yours you'd fall right over. I'll lay you down under the willows.  A man's a man. Most of us, anyway. 

WOMAN 
No!  Don't!  Leave me alone! 

BAAL 
(dragging her off) 
Here we go!  Desperate man performs selfless rescue!
