[Walter and Kitty are out at the Chinese Opera with Charlie and Dorothy Townsend] Charlie Townsend:
Are you enjoying it? Kitty Fane:
I've never seen anything like it. Charlie Townsend:
Every gesture has a meaning. See how she covers her face with the cloth? She is mourning her misfortune. Kitty Fane:
What happened to her? Charlie Townsend:
She was sold into slavery. Condemned to a life of drudgery and despair in a strange land far from home. See the chains? They represent the heavy bondage of her poor, trapped soul from which there is no escape, and so She weeps. She weeps for the lively, vivacious girl she once was, the lonely woman she has become... and most of all... She weeps for the love she'll never feel, for the love she'll never give. Kitty Fane:
Is that really what she's saying? Charlie Townsend:
Actually I haven't a clue what she's on about. I don't speak Chinese. [Charlie and Kitty laugh]
