Alquist

Wait girl, wait! [To Primus]: Do you not wish to live, then?

Primus

Not without her! I will not live without her.

Alquist

Very well; you shall take her place.

Helena

Primus! Primus! [She bursts into tears.]

Alquist

Child, child, you can weep! Why these tears? What is Primus to you? One Primus more or less in the world—what does it matter?

Helena

I will go myself.

Alquist

Where?

Helena

In there to be cut. [She starts toward the dissecting room. Primus stops her.] Let me pass, Primus! Let me pass!
