Text

Start:

ROBERT: How well you look.

EDNA: When did you come back?

ROBERT: Day before yesterday.

EDNA: Day before yesterday! … day before …

[... … …]

End:

EDNA: There is some selfish motive--and in sparing yourself you never consider what I think, or how I feel your indifference.

ROBERT: I only think you cruel, as I said before. Maybe not intentionally; but you seem to be forcing me into saying things which can result in nothing; as if you would have me bare a wound for the pleasure of looking at it; without the intention or power to heal it.
