Liliom

Liliom? Yes.


Louise

Was he really a very handsome man?


Liliom

I wouldn't exactly say handsome.


Louise

[Confidently.] But he was an awfully good man, wasn't he?


Liliom

He wasn't so good, either. As far as I know he was what they called a clown, a barker in a carousel.


Louise

[Pleased.] Did he tell funny jokes?


Liliom

Lots of 'em. And he sang funny songs, too.


Louise

In the carousel?


Liliom

Yes—but he was something of a bully, too. He'd fight anyone. He even hit your dear little mother.


Julie

That's a lie.
