Siužetinės Linijos Tekstas
- KROGSTAD: I just wanted to see how things were with you, Mrs. Helmer. I've been thinking about you all day. Even duns and hack journalists have hearts, you know.
- The MAID open the door from the hall to admit KROGSTAD, and closes it behind him.
- NORA: Show some heart then. Think of my little children.
- KROGSTAD: Have you and your husband thought of mine? Well, lets forger that, I just wanted to tell you, you dont need to take this business too seriously. Im not going to take any action, for the present.
- NORA: Oh, no--you won't, will you? I knew it. My husband must never know about this!
- KROGSTAD: How can you stop him? Can you pay the balance of what you owe me?
- KROGSTAD: replies, Well, it wouldn't have helped anyway. However much money you offered me now I wouldn't give you back that paper.
- NORA: Not Immediately
- KROGSTAD: I'll tell you. I want to get on my feet again, Mrs. Helmer. I want to get to the top. And your husband's going to help me! For eighteen months now my record's been clean I've been in hard straits all that time: I was content to fight my way back inch by inch.
- NORA: What are you going to do with it?
- NORA: I AM!
- KROGSTAD: (replies) Just keep it. No one else need ever hear about it. So in case you were thinking of doing anything desperate--
- KROGSTAD: Such as running away--
- NORA: He must never see that letter. Tear it up. I'll find the money somehow!
- NORA: Telling him everything???
- Krogstad walks away as Nora follows right behind him.
- KROGSTAD: -Just give up the idea. It'd be a stupid thing to do anyway. Once the first little domestic explosion is over...I've got a letter in my pocket addressed to your husband-
- KROGSTAD: As delicately as possible...
- NORA: Oh, I don't mean the money I owe you. Let me know how much you want from my husband, and I'll find it for you.
- NORA: (cries) What do you want, then?!!
- KROGSTAD: I'm sorry, Mrs. Helmer. I thought I'd explained--I'm not asking for your husband's money.
- NORA: He'll never do that!
- KROGSTAD: (continues) Now I've been chucked back into the mud, and I'm not going to be satisfied with just getting back my job. I'm going to get back into the bank, and it's going to be higher up. Your hisband;s going to create a new job for me--
- KROGSTAD: Oh yes, he will. I know him. He won't dare to risk a scandal. And once I'm in there with him, you'll see! Within a year I'll be his right-hand man, It'll be Nils Krogstad who'll be running that bank, not Tolrvald Helmer!
- NORA: You can't frighten me.
- NORA: But afterwards? When I'm no longer---?
- NORA: That will never happen. you'll see, you'll see!
- KROGSTAD: Oh, you can't frighten me. A little pampered little pretty like you-Under the ice? Down in the cold, black water? And then, in the spring, to float up again, ugly, unrecognizable, hairless-?
- KROGSTAD: And you can't frighten me. People don't do such things, Mrs. Helmer. And anyways, what'd be the use? I've got him in my pocket.
- KROGSTAD: (continues) Well, I've warned you. don't do anything silly. When Helmer's read my letter, he'll get in touch with me. And remember, it's your husband who has forced me to act like this. Goodbye, Mrs. Helmer. (he goes out through the hall.)
- KROGSTAD: Have you forgotten that then your reputation will be in my hands?
- NORA: Oh, no no, it couldn't possibly happen.
- {A letter falls into the letter box. KROGSTAD's footsteps die away from the stairs.}
- [She looks at him speechlessly.]
