“I’m going to tell you something tonight, Kathrine. something that will put my life in your hands.”
“It would mean my life with a news to get to certain circles, yes.”
“Then don’t tell me, how do you know you can trust me!”
“I love you.. and I believe you love me.”
“You’re quite wrong, this has been only an adventure to me!”
“That isn’t true Kathrine.”
“It is true. You smiled at me, I was flattered. It was an adventure for the holiday mood.”
“You may as well take my heart Kathrine, it’s already full of you. You walked into it the day we met.”
“You’re a fool, Rudolph..”
“Oh, but isn’t any man that falls in love?… do you know what you are to me? You’re something to believe in again, you’re a type of person that had ceased to exist for me, you’re a fine an honest woman.”
“Oh my Darling, you’re such a child.. take your foolish little dream and your heart and go! Please go!”
“What is it? What’s wrong, my dear?”
“You know nothing about me. You’ve known me only three weeks!”
“Three weeks? Kathrine, I’ve known you all my life.”
“It’s true, I’ve seen you in a thousand plays, read you in as many books, when I heard beautiful music I thought, ‘she’d like that.’ I’ve looked at the flowers and known, one day I’d give them to you.”
“Oh stop, stop! You must listen to me, I am not that woman! Perhaps I was once, but I am not now. You see, you were wrong.. you can’t trust me..”
“Are you trying to tell me that someone whose name we both know and won’t mention sent you?”
“See, I’d known all along.. I had Elbert look you up the day you arrived.”
“And it.. and it didn’t make any difference?..”
“It didn’t make any difference. You see, I trust you. You came here to betray me and to betray my country, that is your mission countess racial bar and yet, i am so sure of your love that i will trust you with my life, and what is far more valuable, the life of my country.”
“If you do, you will betray yourself at the same time.”
“So, you shall know my secret. Even now as we sit here, there is a grey network growing tighter around the four most nations around the world. Treaties, pacts, alliances being formed around the man that sent you.
tonight I will sign a pact that will set the wheels in motion to destroy him.”
“He’s made a great many mistakes, the greatest of all was sending you here tonight, Kathrine.”
“He knew I should love you, but he did not guess that you would fall inlove with me.”
“No.. he didn’t guess that..”
“And you do see you cannot betray me?”
“If I betray you, I betray myself.. if I betray him, I betray my country.. my country is very dear to me..”
“No.. no, not dearer then you..”
“Then, will help me defeat him?”
“By telling me his plans, that’s the only way I can hope defeat him! We can’t both win, you see Kathrine?”
“I’m.. beginning to see.”
“By giving you any information I may possess concerning our plans?”
“Hah.. you are very clever, aren’t you? Oh I can read you like a book now! You thought I was young and easily swayed.. that you could make me love you, and I would throw over my country, My duty for you!”
“That’s not the way to look at it, Kathrine!”
“You weren’t so wise after all, because you’ve lost, you hear me? Lost! You guessed wrong in our duel of wit! You forgot how close hate is to love!”
“You don’t know what you’re saying, Kathrine!”
“You never loved me! You knew I loved you and you used that!”
“Kathrine, stop talking like a child, we’re playing for countrys now!”
“Yes, We are aren’t we… this is a gun in my hand, Rudolph. I’d advise you to to be careful what you say.”
“Well, rather melodramatic, aren’t you? Tell me, will I be the seventh notch on the gun or the eighth? Haha.. do you mind if I smoke?”
“I always smoke at the theater, somehow it enhances the performance.”
“You can do anything you please, Rudolph.. but you have very little time to do it in.”
“You mean you’re actually going to kill me?”
“I’ll do this my own way. Look, you already know my business in being here, now you will either give me my information or I will kill you. You have until nine o’clock.”
“You won’t do, you can’t pull the trigger. You can’t pull it because you love me. It takes a very brave and a very cold woman to do that, Kathrine! I don’t think you can.. isn’t that true? Isn’t that why you’re waiting?”
“Or is it you want to watch your victim? You want my heart to to constrict with agony, my hands to shake? You want me to plead for my life so you can make a generous gesture and spare me.
Sorry Kathrine, I don’t seem to be in the mood for prayers tonight.”
“You don’t think I’ll do it, that’s why you’re so brave. You don’t think I’ll do it.
You wouldn’t be so brave otherwise, you’re a coward at heart, you lied to me, you deceived me!”
“You tried to deceive me.”
“I’m tired of listening to you!”
“You gave me your heart, you’d like me to hand it back whole again, but I won’t.
You’ll live a long time, yet Kathrine, an eternity without me. you’ll look into the faces of passersby’s, hoping for something that will, for an instants, bring me back to you.
You will find moonlit nights strangely empty because when you call my name through them, there will be no answer.
Always your heart will be aching for me and your mind will give you the doubtful consolation that you did.. a brave thing. Listen to your heart Kathrine.”
“You dare to talk about bravery..”
“What else do we have to talk about, Kathrine? For me, there will never be another woman but you, but for my heart there is another love that must come before you. My country.
You are so still.. your face is like ice.. what are you thinking, Kathrine?”
“What does anything you can say matter? You betrayed me with words. What good are words when your heart is breaking? If I fail now, I should deserve to die. You tricked me into loving you..”
“Aren’t you forgetting that you came here for the same purpose?”
“I couldn’t betray you. I tried to tell you, you said you already knew, I was as honest as I knew how to be!”
“Do you think I wanted to love you? Knowing where you came from and what your mission was?
Don’t you suppose that every hour we were together I was thinking ‘she’s just pretending!’ “
“And I loved you so much I let you pretend, because you brought something to my days I couldn’t stand the thought of loosing.. listen to your heart, Kathrine, feel it pounding..”
“Then my last words.. I love you, Kathrine.”
“Your determined to die with a lie on your lips?!”
“I.. love you.. Kathrine..”
