Text

START: Bunty : I want to talk to you.
Nicky {still playing): All right.
Bunty : Perhaps you’d stop playing for a minute.
Nicky: Won’t you let me woo you with a little Scriabine?
Bunty : Please stop.
[...]
END: Bunty: Shall we just — finish — then?
Nicky: Certainly, I’m sorry we were too modern to have an engagement ring, you’d have been able to give it back to me so beautifully.
Bunty: Don’t be ridiculous!
Nicky : Better than being blurred by sentiment
