Text

Start: Lenya: Would you be so kind, Master Tolchinsky, to- to ask us a question. Any question at all.

Doctor: It would mean a lot to us. It’s been so long since anyone has asked us a good “school” question… Please! (They all sit).

[.... … …]

Lenya: Zubritsky! I’ve heard that name before.

Doctor: I’ve seen it! I’ve seen it! On a front door somewhere. In this neighborhood.

Leon: It’s on your front door. Your name is Zubritsky

End: Doctor: (with profound insight) Wait a minute! That means that the young man in the curse may possibly be related to-our front door. (He and Lenya walk over to the door, open it and look out.)
