斯坦利:这事发生在你收到电报之前还是之后?
布兰奇:电报?电报……哦,事实上,电报是……
斯坦利:事实上,根本就没有电报。也没有什么百万富翁。米奇也没有带着玫瑰花来,因为我知道他在哪里。根本没这回事,只有幻想和说谎的把戏。看看你自己吧!看看你自己穿着那一身破破烂烂的狂欢节行头的样子,那是从捡破烂的那儿花50美分租来的。还戴着疯子的皇冠,你以为你是哪门子的女王?知道吗,从一开始我就对你一清二楚,你一次都没能蒙骗过我的眼睛。你一来到这儿就在这地方洒上香粉,洒满香水。还把一个纸灯笼罩在灯泡上,你瞧,这地方变成埃及王国了,而你就是尼罗河女王。坐上你的王座,喝着我的酒。你明白我说的吗?哈!哈!你听到我说话没有?哈!哈!哈!
