Delivering the verdict.
I don’t think Berlin will kill himself.
Paul
It’s nothing like Berlin. Play it in two-four and it’s a great dance tune.
Maxie is obliging. Paul sings a strain of it and dances.

Paul
All right. You can cry to this, too. “My heart is yearning for kisses burning.” That’s sad.
Lucille
Yes, but there’s something behind his songs. They’re sympathetic.
Sighs.
