Gregers. Do you go shooting in the garret?
Hialmar.
[Showing a double-barrelled pistol.] Oh, only with this thing.
Gina.

Hialmar.

Gina.

Gregers. So you have become a sportsman too, Hialmar.
Hialmar.
Only a little rabbit-shooting now and then. Mostly to please father, you understand.
Gina.
Men are strange beings; they must always have something to pervert theirselves with.
Hialmar.
[Snappishly.] Just so; we must always have something to divert ourselves with.
Gina. Yes, that's just what I say.
