Liliom
No.
The Magistrate
You are aware that your wife is pregnant, and that in six months a child will be born?
Liliom
I know.
The Magistrate
And that the child, too, will be without food or shelter? Do you regret that?
Liliom
As long as I won't be there, what's it got to do with me?
The Magistrate
Don't try to deceive us, Andreas Zavocki. We see through you as through a pane of glass.
Liliom
If you see so much, what do you want to ask me for? Why don't you let me rest—in peace?
The Magistrate
First you must earn your rest.
Liliom
I want—only—to sleep.
