                        HAROLD
       I was blind but now I see.
 
                        DOTTIE
                (continuing)
       …and now you expect me to dissolve 
       in tears because you say you're 
       going to miss me?  And then you add
       insult to injury by—by— 
 
                        HAROLD
       By what?
 
                        DOTTIE
       Ohh!  Just forget about it—and forget
       you!

She whirls around and walks away.  Fast.  HAROLD is elated at the thrill of the chase. She’s beautiful when she is angry!

                        HAROLD
       No, wait, please….  Let me make it
       up to you.

DOTTIE continues walking without breaking stride. 

                        DOTTIE
       Don't flatter yourself, Mr. Nicholas.

HAROLD glides catlike to her side, keeping pace with her.
