Julie
Why do you ask so many questions? Did you know him, perhaps?
Liliom
[Puts the plate down.] Heaven knows! I've known so many people. Maybe I knew him, too.
Julie
Well, if you knew him, leave him and us in peace with your questions. He went to America and died there. That's all there is to tell.
Liliom
All right. All right. Don't be angry with me. I didn't mean any harm. [There is a pause.]
Louise
My father was a very handsome man.
Julie
Don't talk so much.
Louise
Did I say anything?
Liliom
Surely the little orphan can say that about her father.
