比雅特莉斯?斯坦霍普：喬治。
森林王喬治：噢。
比雅特莉斯：我想……談一談。你可以和我到外面去嗎……(侍者遞給他一杯啤酒)非常感謝……(面對喬治)就一會兒?
喬治：當然。
女人：你好，比雅特莉斯。
比雅特莉斯：你好，你好。噢，我們認識不是很久，喬治，但我已經知道你的一些事情。
喬治：哦?
比雅特莉斯：你愛上我的女兒。
喬治：噢，俄蘇拉夫人，不至于那么笨……
比雅特莉斯：很好，然而我所關心的是俄蘇拉好像也喜歡你，那對我才是一個問題。你知道你和俄蘇拉在一起不適合她的社會地位。你明白嗎?換句話說，你也許能明白，你來的地方，斑馬配斑馬，獵豹配獵豹，門當門，戶對戶，哦，俄蘇拉和你門不當戶不對，這個問題我想盡快地解決。
喬治：那么你要俄蘇拉愛喬治。
比雅特莉斯：那我寧愿每天早餐都把舌頭釘在這張桌子上。
喬治：那樣會痛的。
比雅特莉斯：如果你做出什么事破壞我女兒和萊爾?馮?魯特的婚禮，你會更痛。當萊爾回來后，婚禮會按計劃舉行。如果你搗亂的話，我會腌了你，這樣就不用圍遮羞布了。
侍者：斯坦霍普夫人，要鹽鋦牛扒嗎?
比雅特莉斯：噢，不，謝謝，今天吃了夠多的蛋白質了。森林先生， 祝你有一個愉快的夜晚。
