Painter: Don’t think you can escape me.
Lulu: Get away!
Painter: Now you’re mine!
Lulu: Good night.
Painter: You wild thing!
Lulu: I search the heavens and fetch down stars for pearls!
Painter: I reach as far as Venus, and open the glistening gates!
Lulu: You will never catch me!
Painter: … and there let me perish!
Lulu: I’m too quick to be caught!
Painter: Most merciful god, this is the end of me!
Lulu: I feel dizzy.
Painter: Nothing to lose –
Lulu: God, o God!
Painter: No compassion!

Painter: I just don’t understand.
Lulu: Please you are pathetic.
Painter: You have never loved.
Lulu: That I would never tell you.
