Fred
I just now realized it!
Eileen
I see! And you think all you have to do is tell me and that settles it. Well, it doesn’t work quite that way!
Fred
What?
Eileen
You think I’m going to stand by and let you throw me over for that little snip!
Fred
She is not!
Eileen
Not by a damned sight! I’ll sue her for alienation—that’s what I’ll do.
Fred
You can’t. She was born right here in New York State!
Eileen
You seem to have forgotten something! Did you beg me to marry you or didn’t you?
Fred
But I didn’t know then.
Eileen
You seem to have forgotten that I was engaged to another man, and that you took me away from him! What about that?
Fred
I can’t help it.
